Arnold Palmer Invitational prize money breakdown on the PGA Tour.

Here’s how the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational prize money has been distributed at the PGA Tour Signature Event.

The world’s top stars gather once again at Bay Hill for the prestigious Arnold Palmer Invitational to compete for a share of another $20m PGA Tour Signature Event purse.

However, a key difference this week is that the limited 72 player field will need to survive a 36-hole cut to be in with a shot at taking home the elevated $4m winner’s cheque. Only the top 50 players and those within 10 shots of the lead will go on to play the weekend.

Scottie Scheffler registered the first of his seven wins at last year’s edition with a dominant five-shot victory for his second API triumph. The trophy is plastered with the names of golfing greats through the ages, including that of Tiger Woods a mere eight times.

Here’s a full breakdown of how the purse will be distributed at Bay Hill…
