The 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational purse is set for $12 million, with the winner's share coming in at $2,160,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The Arnold Palmer Invitational field is headed by Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and more of the world's best players.
The 120-player field is an invitational event on the PGA Tour schedule, with players earning their way into the tournament based on their priority order. No spots are held for Monday qualifiers.
A cut is made after 36 holes to the top 65 players and ties for the final two rounds of the tournament. All players who finish four rounds of the tournament will earn money.
The event is played this year at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Fla.
This is the 18th PGA Tour-sanctioned event of the 2021-2022 PGA Tour schedule.
