2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational betting tips: Our expert’s top picks for Bay Hill

Our resident betting expert picks out his top Arnold Palmer Invitational betting tips ahead of the PGA Tour’s fourth Signature Event.

The 47th renewal of the Arnold Palmer Invitational marks the second week of the Florida swing on the PGA Tour’s 2025 calendar, straddling the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, and golf’s “fifth major” – The Players Championship.

Orlando’s Signature Event has been hosted at Bay Hill Club and Lodge since 1979, four years after being purchased by the 7-time Major winning legend who describes the track as somewhere “you must play boldly to win.” Bay Hill consistently ranks in the top 10 hardest courses on the PGA Tour each year.

Last year’s edition kicked started a remarkable season for Scottie Scheffler, who cruised to a five-shot victory before going on to become the first player in 50 years to go back-to-back at The Players Championship, and then collect his second Green Jacket just weeks later.

After a six week break recovering from a rib injury, Xander Schauffele has announced his return and committed to playing the Arnold Palmer Invitational next week.

Before diving into my betting tips for the week, here’s everything else you need to know…
