2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational betting picks
The Arnold Palmer Invitational is the eighth event of the season, with the PGA Tour returning to Orlando for the event honoring the King.
Bay Hill is a tough course because of all the water in play, and then the PGA Tour really turns up the heat with firm and fast greens this week. I was in Orlando last week, and the weather was practically perfect to deliver on those conditions.
Collin Morikawa would be a fitting champion considering he got pipped here last year and just won at Pebble Beach for a big comeback victory.
Chris Gotterup should like a place like this a lot considering his power, and I also think Viktor Hovland finds a place like this great for his game.
Jake Knapp has been fantastic all year, in practically any setting, and there's no reason to believe that changes now.
