Nick Dunlap is the latest winner of the Arnold Palmer Award as the 2024 Rookie of the Year
20-year-old American professional golfer Nick Dunlap won the Arnold Palmer Award after he was crowned the 2024 Rookie of the Year. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the official handle of the PGA Tour uploaded a photo of Dunlap dressed in red and holding his trophy.
