Fee for service dentistry is not based on a fixed fee delivery system (such as a Preferred Provider Organization) that predetermines what the fee should be or how treatment should be rendered (which some insurance companies or managed care plans dictate).
Palmer's most prolific years were 1960â1963, when he won 29 PGA Tour events, including five major tournament victories, in four seasons. In 1960, he won the Hickok Belt as the top professional athlete of the year and Sports Illustrated magazine's Sportsman of the Year award.
Palmerâs total tally is $1.3 billion on an inflation-adjusted basis. Forbes has closely tracked the earnings of athletes since 1990 and Palmer has been a staple on those lists even though his last PGA Tour win was the 1973 Bob Hope Desert Classic. He ranked No. 9 on our inaugural athletes list with earnings of $8.1 million, although that total excluded golf-course design income.
