Arnold Palmer Invitational
Arnold Palmer Invitational is a professional golf tournament in the PGA Tour, held annually at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge, a private golf resort owned since 1974 by Arnold Palmer in Bay Hill, a suburb southwest of Orlando, Florida.
History[edit | edit source]
The event was founded in 1979 as the Florida Citrus Open Invitational, with the inaugural event won by Bob Byman. In 2007, the tournament was renamed to honor its longtime host, Arnold Palmer. The Arnold Palmer Invitational is one of only five tournaments given "invitational" status by the PGA Tour, and consequently it has a reduced field of only 120 players.
Course[edit | edit source]
The Bay Hill Club and Lodge golf course was designed by Dick Wilson and built in 1961, and has been a venue on the PGA Tour since 1979. The course covers 270 acres (110 ha) and includes 27 holes of golf.
Winners[edit | edit source]
The tournament has been won by some of the biggest names in golf, including Tiger Woods, who has won the tournament a record eight times. Other notable winners include Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els, and Phil Mickelson.
