2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational Betting - Bet on FedExCup

2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational PGA Betting

One of the events leading up to the Masters in early April is the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March in Florida. The event was founded in 1979 and has had a number of different names including the Bay Hill Invitational but it has been played under the Arnold Palmer name since 2007. The tournament is played at Bay Hill in Orlando, Florida and the tournament is sponsored by Mastercard. The event is known as Arnie’s tournament but it may as well be called Tiger’s tournament, considering he has won the event eight times. The first win for Tiger in this event came in 2000 and his most recent win came in 2013. Tiger is the only player to win this event more than twice in its long history. The Arnold Palmer Invitational almost always has a strong field and that will be the case again in 2024, as the tournament received the honor of being one of the Signature Events on the PGA Tour which means a prize purse of $20 million dollars. That will ensure that almost all of the world’s top players are in the field with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy among the favorites to win.

Catch all of the action at the Arnold Palmer Invitational from Thursday, March 7 through Sunday, March 10.

Big name winners have been common in this tournament but every so often an under the radar player will win as happened in 2023 when Kitayama won and it happened in back-to-back years in 2014 and 2015 when Matt Every won. Every has just two career PGA Tour wins and both came in this event.
