The PGA Tour makes its way to Orlando for the second leg of the Florida Swing—the prestigious Arnold Palmer Invitational. A field of 72 players will take on the challenging Bay Hill Club and Lodge, including 45 of the world's top 50 and all of the top eight golfers.
This signature event boasts a $20 million prize purse, with the champion set to claim $4 million along with 700 valuable FedExCup points.
Bay Hill is known for testing even the best in the game, consistently ranking among the toughest courses on the PGA Tour.
Given its demanding nature, it’s no surprise that world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has thrived here. With two victories—earning the iconic red cardigan—and an additional top-five finish in the past three seasons, Scheffler arrives in Florida eager to continue his impressive run in the Sunshine State.
