The PGA TOUR continues its Florida Swing at Bay Hill Club & Lodge to play the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational this week. The event has been a mainstay on TOUR, appearing on the schedule every year since 1979. However, this year the tournament will be a “designated event” which offers a $20 million prize pool.
Bay Hill Club & Lodge is a par-72 measuring 7,454 yards featuring Bermudagrass greens. Bay Hill can play extremely difficult if the wind picks up, but the course certainly has teeth whether there is wind or not.
The event being “designated” guarantees that all of the top players on TOUR will be in attendance this week. Consequently, 44 of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will be in Orlando this week.
