The PGA Tour moves to the second event of the “Florida Swing” with this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida. “Arnie’s Tournament” is a limited field, invitation-only event set at 120 golfers with the top 65 and ties making it through the 36-hole cut line.

Bay Hill is a classical Florida-style golf course with Bermuda grass, thick rough, firm greens and numerous bunkers and water hazards. Thanks to the wind, four of the last five winners have finished with a score of 12-under or worse. A stern test of golf, it definitely has a "Major" feel to it.

"Tough", “can't fake it”, "mentally challenging" and "must commit to shots" are all phrases players themselves have used to describe Bay Hill. Course knowledge, length off the tee, fairway finding drives and a high ball flight into firm greens are all important qualities for having success.

The tournament will feature five of the top 10 players in the OWGR rankings. In total, we’ll see 16 top-30 ranked players in the world. With defending champion, Bryson DeChambeau already withdrawing, the main notable players include Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Hideki Matsuyama, Scottie Scheffler, Tyrrell Hatton and Will Zalatoris.
