2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational: Tee Times, Betting Odds, How to Watch

Success at Bay Hill largely depends on leaving the ball in the right spots, choosing the correct angles, and maintaining patience. This is why course history is important. The best way to know where to place the ball in the fairway and on the greens is to have prior experience at Bay Hill. In fact, 17 of the past 20 winners had participated in at least three Arnold Palmer Invitationals.

The Florida swing continues at Bay Hill for the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Bay Hill presents a challenging test of golf, and historically, the winner typically comes from the top of the betting board. The event has regained its status as a signature tournament, limiting the field to just 72 golfers. The cut will take place on Friday, with the low 50 players and ties qualifying, or, as we saw during the Genesis Invitational, anyone within 10 shots of the lead will also make the cut.
