Who to watch for at the Arnold Palmer Invitational
Best Bets:
Rory McIlroy
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T13 | T10 | T5 | T6 | Win | T4 | T27 | T11 |
Despite his struggles in his last two events, Rory has five top-tens in eight Palmer starts, think he is the player to beat this week.
Scottie Scheffler
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T15 |
A great choice showed that he could play well in Florida, but the question can he pull another double as he did in Phoenix. He doesn’t have Rahm’s wins, but Scheffler is playing very well.
Tyrrell Hatton
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T2 | T21 | Win | T29 | T69 | T4 |
He has played ok of late but has a great record in Florida, and the Palmer is his best Florida event.
Best of the rest:
Jon Rahm
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T17 |
He is probably a mandatory selection since Rahm has won five times in the last five months and won three times in his last five starts. Still, he doesn’t have much Florida experience, only played in eight events in Florida. Yes, he was T-6th at Valspar in 2019 and T-9th at the 2021 Players. But I feel his game is not suited for Florida golf, so I am taking a pass on him. This doesn’t mean he will play badly, he won’t win.
Viktor Holland
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Plays great in Florida with a pair of runner-ups at the Palmer and Workday Championship. Has not played great of late but has made paychecks, and we feel he is close with his game right now.
Keith Mitchell
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T61 | T43 | T5 | T6 |
Has played well in Florida and had a great run on the west coast swing.
Sungjae Im
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T20 | T21 | 3 | T3 |
He has played well in Florida and has played well of late. His record is ok at the Palmer, he was 3rd in 2020, and despite finishing T-42nd last week at the Honda, think he will play better this week.
Solid contenders
Collin Morikawa
2023 | ’22 | ’21 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T9 | T64 |
Only played the course twice, the last time was T-9th in 2020. Despite him playing well in 2023, it worries me that he missed the cut in Phoenix, despite playing great all the other times.
Matt Fitzpatrick

Has played well at the Palmer and Florida and other than missing the cut at Pebble and Rivera, has played well. Matt is worth considering.

Has played well in Europe and was T-14th last week at the Honda. After that, I think he is on the cusp of some really good things.

Worst Bets:
Max Homa

Is a big no for me, this California kid struggles on Florida courses. Yes, he was T-6th at Valspar in 2021 and T-10th at Bay Hill in 2021, but both years were calm weeks with very little wind. So I would pass up on Homa for the next few weeks.

The big question for me, he lives just down the road in Jupiter but only played once. In 2015 finishing T-49th, so that tells me not to pick him because he has no confidence on the course.

Is not a great choice. Other than a 5th place finish at Valspar in 2017, he has played terribly and has avoided playing in the Palmer, so pass on him.

He has never played at the Palmer or Honda and despite a runner-up at Valspar in 2017, has missed the cut in four of his seven Florida starts.
