“I admired him so much as a youngster and followed his career and his game. Then, as time went on and I got to play, I got to know him pretty well,” Palmer said Tuesday after being presented the Byron Nelson Prize. “He was always ready to help.”

The Byron Nelson Prize was established after Nelson’s death in 2006. It’s given to a person or organization in golf who exemplifies the ideals of “giving back.”

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who attended the opening ceremony of the HP Byron Nelson Championship where the prize was awarded, said “anything that perpetuates Byron’s memory” is positive.

The prize comes with a $100,000 contribution to charity. That will be made to the Arnold D. And Winifred W. Palmer Charitable Foundation, which supports hospitals for women and children.
