Players and fans will pay their respects to Arnold Palmer when the 41st Ryder Cup gets under way at Hazeltine on Friday.
Flags at the course were flown at half-mast on Monday as tributes continued to pour in following the death of one of the most beloved figures in the game.
Tournament officials are finalising details of a video tribute and minute's silence to be held during the opening ceremony, while players will wear pins bearing a specially-created logo.
"The PGA Tour and the Palmer family created a logo and an 'Arnie's Army' mention and I think there's going to be buttons for the fans and pins for the players," US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love said. "Darren (Clarke, European captain) and I have agreed, whatever we do, we are going to do together.
"Doing interviews this morning really brought it home, trying to tell stories about really my whole life knowing Arnold Palmer. I was the son of a PGA professional like he was and my dad always held Arnold Palmer in high regard.
"I was the little kid at one time that Arnold would rub my head and say hello and ask, 'How are you doing, son?'. He was my inspiration as a golfer, a role model as how to act as a professional."
Clarke added: "It sort of puts into perspective a lot of things, but our sport wouldn't be where it is without Mr Palmer. He was obviously a very proud American, very patriotic towards the Ryder Cup. But more than that, he was a global superstar."
Palmer, who celebrated his 87th birthday earlier this month, had been in a Pittsburgh hospital awaiting heart surgery when his condition deteriorated.
A private, family funeral will be held this week, with a public memorial service held in his native Latrobe, Pennsylvania on October 4.
A statement from Palmer's youngest daughter, Amy Palmer Saunders, read: "My family and I are deeply moved by the outpouring of support and love that we have received from the countless friends and admirers of my father.
"These first hours have been challenging but we are comforted knowing that he was loved by so many and so deeply.
"Words cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for the many people who have offered to help us in this time of sadness. My father would be so pleased to know that he is being thought of and recognised this way."
A four-time Masters champion, Palmer had been unable to perform his customary role as honorary starter in April alongside Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player - the other members of golf's 'Big Three' - due to a shoulder injury and looked frail as he was helped to a seat on the first tee.
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said: "His presence at Augusta National will be sorely missed, but his impact on the Masters remains immeasurable and it will never wane."
Born Arnold Daniel Palmer on September 10, 1929 - just weeks before the Wall Street Crash - the man who would become 'the King' was hardly raised in regal conditions in the blue-collar town of Latrobe, the eldest of four children.
But crucially his father Deacon, known as Deke, became the greenkeeper at Latrobe Country Club in 1921 and the club professional in 1933, giving his son the ideal start to a career which ultimately produced more than 90 career titles, including seven major championships.
Palmer won the Masters in each even-numbered year from 1958 to 1964, two Open Championships and the US Open in 1960, but never completed the career grand slam by winning the US PGA Championship - something he considered his greatest regret.
Perhaps his greatest achievement was reviving the fortunes of the Open, which had often been shunned by the leading American professionals due to the low prize money and cost and time involved in travelling across the Atlantic.
European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley said: "Without question Arnold's participation in the Open Championship in the early 1960s was the catalyst to truly internationalise golf. It was a proud day for everyone at the European Tour when we made Arnold an honorary member in 1995."
Nicklaus, who enjoyed a long, friendly rivalry with Palmer, said: "I wish I had another chance to talk to him, but I am so glad we talked a couple of weeks ago on his birthday, when he sounded great.
"He was one of my best friends, closest friends, and he was for a long, long time. I will miss him greatly. He was the king of our sport and always will be."
