I don't think it's the new logo. I think it's just a temporary tribute to Arnie.

I saw it retweeted by The European Tour saying it should be the new logo. Here's a cleaned up version from reddit:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That is the 1st thing that came to my mind as well.

My fault for not being clear. Should it be the new logo? I like the tribute, but lets wait a bit before making a  permanent change.

Meh. The silhouette doesn't balance out the negative space as well as the current logo.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Interesting, apparently the current logo isn't actually modeled after anyone --- there is no 'Jerry West' for the PGA Tour.

Jerry West is the logo for the NBA, not the PGA Tour.  Some people have said the logo is that of Ben Hogan, but it has been confirmed that the silhouette represents no one in particular...

I think he knew that… He was saying that there's no specific model for the PGA Tour like Jerry West is for the NBA.

"While working?"

I know of a good solution to that… ;-)

Retirement?

And I kind of like the "tribute" logo, I wouldn't mind seeing it adopted, at least for a season.  Arnold came at the right time, basically at the beginning of golf on TV,  to help popularize golf.  To my mind, he had more to do with golf's popularity than anyone ever had, until Tiger.  It would seem appropriate for the tour to honor him.

I think the new logo is good for golf, it's a great way to recognize those that have contributed greatly to where it is.

While others before Arnold Palmer made great contributions, he's a great person to start the tradition.  

The question is once it's about an individual, does it evolve over time to honor other individuals that have equally contributed and passed on as well?

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
