2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational rankings: Top 10 expert picks
1. Rory McIlroy: Rory was mediocre, as usual, at Riviera, but this is a venue where he has seen success.
2. Scottie Scheffler: Scheffler is the defending champion here, and he should be able to handle any nasty wind this week.
3. Jon Rahm: Rahm is clearly the best player on the planet, but his relative lack of experience here does matter.
4. Max Homa: Homa was second in his last start, and he did finish in the top 10 here two years ago.
5. Matt Fitzpatrick: Fitz is a huge horse-for-course play here, and it seems like things might be coming together for the US Open champ.
6. Chris Kirk: At this point, Kirk is really hard to ignore. He just won at Honda, and his record here is superb.
7. Justin Thomas: Thomas is hanging around in tournaments, and he just needs one big week to pop off.
8. Viktor Hovland: Hovland should actually make sense here. The rough will probably be out of control, mitigating the value of short game to anyone.
9. Tony Finau: Finau is hanging around the top 10-20 every time he plays, and his driving should come in handy this week.
10. Keith Mitchell: Mitchell is a horse-for-course play this week, but he's also just playing great golf.
