There's this on Palmer's website, in an article from his "Kingdom" magazine:
"One evening after a long day of designing a course in Palm Springs during the 1960s, Arnold Palmer stepped up to a bar and asked the bartender for a mixture of lemonade and iced tea. A woman sitting next to him overheard what he ordered and told the bartender, 'I'll have that Palmer drink.' From that moment on, this refreshing lemonade-iced tea beverage became known as an 'Arnold Palmer,' and its name gradually spread throughout the golfing world and beyond into mainstream America."
Now you know.
