The fourth signature event of the PGA Tour season is here as the world’s best players have made their way to Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge, the second stop of the Florida Swing.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who slipped on The King’s iconic red cardigan in 2022, is the betting favorite at +650. He’s joined in the field by Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, among others.
Bay Hill Club and Lodge is a par-72 track measuring 7,466 yards and annually plays as one of the hardest stops on Tour, a major-type vibe when it comes to scoring.
