Get your umbrellas at the ready - not for the rain, but to honor The King. Five years since his passing, Arnold Palmer is very much the center figure of Bay Hill, and this week he'll be honored at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The second event of the Florida swing, the field will work their way around this iconic course, battling the 84 bunkers & abundance of water to see who will wear the red cardigan come Sunday. The last five years of this tournament have been won by Internationals...no American has won since Matt Every went back to back in 2014/15. Jordan is playing the event for the first time - but will the team pick him? Tune in for hear our re-ranked Top Ten, Sizzlers & Dark Horse picks for the API, as well as course analysis & statistical breakdown.

The first WGC of 2021; an elite field heading to Bradenton, FL to visit an iconic course with history that dates back to the 1969 Ryder Cup. Concession hosts a PGA TOUR event for the first time so that in itself equals excitement & anticipation - for us and for the field. On the podcast, Steve Elkington & Diane Knox dig deep into the course to handicap & re-rank the players. They give you the stats to pay attention to, the roadmap to play well around Concession and our top picks in the form of the Top Ten, 'Sizzlers' and 'Dark Horse' picks with Jay Kaplan. Also, special guest Chelsea Pezzola joins the team LIVE from Concession to talk about a course she knows very well - you won't want to miss out on this local knowledge! She plays along on the Secret Golf Celebrity Showdown and picks a Fourball team on the SG Tour golf gaming app. Let's hope she beats the pack this week; you can play along too: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sg-tour-golf/id1454170084
