2016 Arnold Palmer Invitational tee times and pairings: Round 1



The PGA Tour makes its annual trip to Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Fla., for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Two-time defending champion Matt Every will seek what would be a remarkable three-peat, but he'll face the likes of Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson and Jason Day in search of a third Bay Hill title.

Scott, who has won his last two PGA Tour starts, plays the first two days with Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker. They'll start at 12:56 p.m. on No. 1 on Thursday.

McIlroy draws Kevin Kisner and Every, going off the 10th tee at 8:23 a.m. for Round 1. Jason Day, playing with Hideki Matsuyama and Zach Johnson, go off in the group ahead of McIlroy and company at 8:11 a.m.
