The 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational final leaderboard is headed by winner Kurt Kitayama, who earns the PGA Tour win at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Fla.
In the final round, Kitayama was in control until the ninth tee, when he duck-hooked his tee shot out of bounds to drop to 9 under par. From there, though, he played even par, including a huge birdie on the 17th hole, to win on 9-under 279.
Rory McIlroy and Harris English finished in joint second place, a shot behind the first-time champion.
Kitayama won the $3,600,000 winner's share of the $20,000,000 purse.
