Who to watch for at the Arnold Palmer Invitational
Best Bets:
Viktor Hovland
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T42 | T40 |
The question will be if Hovland can keep the train rolling of playing well and keep making birdies. The part of his game that is getting better is his putting, if he continues to make putts there is no limits on what he can do.
Francesco Molinari
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T26 | T7 | T9 | T17 | T5 | T34 |
Winner at Bay Hill two years ago, he is breaking out of a 20 month period of first poor play and then taking time off from the game to move his family from London to Los Angeles. It’s only a matter of time before he wins again.
Matthew Fitzpatrick
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T9 | 2 | CUT | T13 | T27 | CUT |
Has been solid in his last three starts including a T-5th at Genesis and T-11th at Concession. Can play well at Bay Hill, was T-9th last year and 2nd in 2019.
Best of the rest:
Bryson DeChambeau
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | T46 | 2 | T27 |
Bay Hill is a very good course for him as he can gamble on a lot of holes and make up a lot of shots. The key for him is putting, which along with iron play has been suspect of late. Looking to play a lot between this week and the Masters as he looks to get his game in top form for Augusta National.
Sungjae Im
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | T3 |
Look for his game to emerge as he has shown a liking to playing on Florida courses. Has been 3rd the last two years at Bay Hill.
Jordan Spieth
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Important test for him the next two weeks to see if he can play well on courses he has struggled on. His strength will be his confidence which got a boost from three weeks of great play on the west coast.
Tyrrell Hatton
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T29 | T69 | T4 |
His first PGA Tour win came last year at Bay Hill, can he continue his good play in Florida.
Solid contenders
Marc Leishman

Has had some great times at Bay Hill, in his last four starts won in 2017, T-7th in ’18, T-23rd in ’19 and 2nd last year. Was T-4th at Sony Open, T-39th last week at The Concession.
Will Zalatoris

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T36 | T54 | T49 |
Has played great in his last four starts, unfortunately, he stubbled in the final round in three of the four, was 3rd in his last start at Genesis. Showed in 2018 that he could play well in Florida, which was T-8th at Honda and T-12th at Valspar.
Jason Kokrak
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |

is record at Bay Hill is solid including 4th in 2014, T-6th in 2015 and T-10th in 2019. Played solidly since winning CJ Cut in October, was T-9th at Concession last week.
Long shots that could come through:
Rickie Fowler
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T18 | T40 | T14 | 12 | T29 | CUT | T3 | T30 | T50 |
Hard to believe of him as a long shot, but he has played so bad the last year he is now a long shot. Has really struggled with his game for the last year and with a swing change over the last month.
Luke List
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |

T10 | T7 | T17 |
Surprisingly has played well at Bay Hill, T-17th in 2017, T-7th in 2018, and T-19th in 2019. Been up and down most of 2021, was T-10th at Farmer’s and T-8th at Corales.

T5 | T6 |
He was remarkable the last three years in his Floridian play, won Honda in 2019, and was in the top-eleven in four of his 8 Florida starts. Was T-5th at Bay Hill last year, T-6th in 2019. Other than Florida he is a mess on the PGA Tour.
Have given up on him for a bit:
Rory McIlroy

T5 | T6 | Win | T4 | T27 | T11 |
Since 2015 has played the best in events held in Florida including nine top-ten finishes and two wins, one at Palmer in 2018. His biggest problem is having that one bad round per start, last week it was a closing round 71 at Concession to finish T-6th. So until he shows that his game can be good over 72 holes have seriously downgraded him.
Well Rory didn’t have his one bad round today. Three more rounds to get it under his belt.
I picked Bryson and Fitz this week. In good shape after Thursday.
Almost went with Ty – thankfully I avoided that mistake.
We have seen this first-round performance a lot from Rory in the last year. We will see how he does in the upcoming rounds. Think DeChambeau will be tough, same with Fitzpatrick. Also, add Sungjae Im to that list and we can’t forget about Hoveland who also shot 69 along with Fitzpatrick and Im.
Hovland just keeps finding himself on leaderboards with a 68 today – will play with Rory on Saturday which will be great with weather coming in.
Ty bounced back today jumping 69 spots up leaderboard with a 67. Rory and Bryson lucky to shoot 71’s.
Bryson couldn’t take advantage of Par 5s.
You were spot on Sal as Rory blew up on Sunday with a pretty lackluster weekend going 72-76.
Hovland even worse going 77-78.
Have no idea how much longer Rory will be in this funk. Don’t think it has anything to do with his swing or game, think it’s more in his head. He just doesn’t seem to have the same confidence he used to have. In his career, we have seen about three or four times this happen to Rory, but this is the longest. Could also be a family issue in which things are so great with a new kid you tend to forget about working on your game. Again we can speculate until we are blue in the face and not get it right.
As for Hovland think the hot streak has now come to a complete stop. Happens a lot in golf, he was going along smoothly shooting low rounds, and then all of a sudden he hits a course with windy conditions and everything goes to crap. Don’t think he will be a favorite next week at the Players.
