The PGA Tour continues its Florida Swing in Bay Hill this week for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The tournament will take place at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, FL, and run from Thursday, March 5 through Sunday, March 8. The event features a total purse of $20 million, with 20% ($4M) going to the outright winner.

Fresh off his shocking come-from-behind victory at the Cognizant Classic, Nico Echavarria is back in the field this week and listed at +7500 to win at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook. Shane Lowry, who endured a brutal collapse in the Bear Trap on Sunday to finish tied for second, is listed at +3000. Taylor Moore, who also finished tied for second, is available as a longshot at +20000.

As expected, two-time champion Scottie Scheffler enters as the heavy favorite at +325. The OWGR No. 1 captured titles at Bay Hill in 2022 and 2024, and should arrive well-rested following a week off. Rory McIlroy sits right behind Scheffler at +1000, boasting strong history of his own at this event with a 2018 victory and a runner-up finish to Kurt Kitayama in 2023.

Beyond the top two, several intriguing contenders round out the betting board: Tommy Fleetwood and Xander Schauffele are both available at +1600, followed by Matt Fitzpatrick (+2250), Hideki Matsuyama (+2500), Collin Morikawa (+3000), Harris English (+3000), Jake Knapp (+3000), Patrick Cantlay (+3000), Robert MacIntyre (+3000), Russell Henley (+3000), and Si Woo Kim (+3000).

Below is a detailed look into the entire field, along with each golfer’s odds to win the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Hard Rock Bet.
