The 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational purse is set for $9.3 million, with 71 professional players who complete four rounds at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Fla., earning an official-money paycheck this week.
The winner's share of the Arnold Palmer Invitational prize pool is at $1,674,000, with the second-place finisher taking home $1,013,700.
The Arnold Palmer Invitational field is headed by Bryson DeChambeau, Lee Westwood, Rory McIlroy and more.
This tournament started with 123 players, and a 36-hole cut was made this week at 2-over 146 or better.
With the new PGA Tour cut rule down to the top 65 and ties, no players are subject to the PGA Tour's secondary cut any longer.
What else is on the line
Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.
The winner of this event will get 550 FedEx Cup points. Every player who completes this event earns FedEx Cup points, and only PGA Tour members qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Additionally, there are 58 big Official World Golf Ranking points on the line for the winner, as this is a decent field.
While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the PGA Tour. Winners of these events get a three-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, berths into the 2021 Masters, the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions, 2021 The Players Championship and the 2021 PGA Championship.
