Palmer considering role as honorary starter
by The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. - Arnold Palmer might tee it up at the Masters again as an honorary starter.
The four-time Masters champion said Wednesday he has given ``careful consideration'' to a request from Augusta National chairman Billy Payne that Palmer hit the ceremonial tee shot to open the Masters.
``I'm thinking about it,'' the 77-year-old Palmer said. ``I'm giving it some very careful consideration now that I have stopped playing competitively. As you know, Augusta is one of my very favorite places, and of course, Bill Payne is a good friend.''<<table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="130"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2">

The Masters has not had a ceremonial starter since Sam Snead died in 2002. Palmer played his 50th and final Masters in 2004.
``It isn't that I have anything against doing it,'' Palmer said. ``I just want it to be the right time when I decide to do it.''
Asked if that meant this year or next year, Palmer grinned and replied, ``It's in consideration, period.''
