Tournament Highlights
The Arnold Palmer Invitational is hosted by “The King,” Arnold Palmer. The tournament takes place on Arnold’s home course, Bay Hill Club & Lodge. Traditionally the winner is honored and greeted right off the 18th green by Arnold at the end of play, an honor every player wishes to experience.
Matt Every is the returning champion, having carded his first PGA Tour victory at the 2014 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Every finished one shot ahead of Keegan Bradley.
World #1 Rory McIlory makes his first-ever appearance at Bay Hill, honoring “The King.”
In the field this week is Adam Scott. Keep an eye on Adam’s putter. Will it be the regular length putter he used in his last event, or the long-achored putter he has been using for many years, including his Masters win.
Other notables in the field include Henrik Stenson, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day, Billy Horschel, Zach Johnson, Keegan Bradley, J.B. Holmes and Matt Every.
