Arnold Palmer Invitational field and favorites

Scottie Scheffler should take kindly to two weeks off after the Pebble-Phoenix-Riviera stretch but will be just as eager to get back on the course. The World No. 1 has logged Top-6 results in three of his five 2024 starts and hasn't finished worse than T17. 

He's also had success here at Bay Hill, with a win in 2022 and a T4 a year ago to his name. He's atop the board with +650 odds as a result.

Running second on the board is Rory McIlroy (+850 to +1,000) after a T21 result at PGA National. He brings a plethora of API experience to the table, with a victory in 2018, a runner-up a season ago, and nothing worse than T13 in seven starts since 2017. 

Viktor Hovland sits third on the board between 11/1 and 14/1. The form has been shaky by his standards after a scorching run to end 2023 which included wins at the BMW and TOUR Championship. He's gone T22-T58-T19 in three 2024 starts but did finish runner-up to Scheffler here in 2022.

Xander Schauffle and Patrick Cantlay round out the Top 5 in the 12/1 to 14/1 range. Cantlay finished T4 at Riviera last time out and also finished T4 in his API debut last season. Xander remains in great form but has logged just T24 and T39 results in two Bay Hill tries. 

2023 champ Kurt Kitayama can be had as long as 80/1 after cashing 200/1 tickets a year ago.
