The 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational final leaderboard is headed by winner Akshay Bhatia, who earned the PGA Tour win in the event at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida.
Bhatia won the tournament on the 1st hole of a sudden-death playoff against 54-hole leader Daniel Beger, after both players finished regulation at 15-under 273. On the 72nd hole, Bhatia made a fortunate par after a good break on this second shot, while Berger managed to save par from 13 feet after missing in deep rough off the tee and having to lay up.
In the playoff, Berger found the fringe with a tough second shot from the rough, and he left his third shot 7 feet from the hole. He was unable to make the par putt, however, opening the door for Bhatia to two-putt after finding the green to earn his third-career PGA Tour title.
Ludvig Aberg and Cameron Young finished in a share of third place on 12-under total, while last year's runner-up, Collin Morikawa, finished in solo fifth place and another shot adrift.
Bhatia won the $4,000,000 winner's share of the $20,000,000 purse.
