How does it feel to see some of golf’s best teeing it up together on the same field? Well, after the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025, we know exactly how thrilling that is. But with one last round to go, the biggest question remains—who will emerge victorious in this fierce battle for the red cardigan?
Leading the pack heading into Sunday is Collin Morikawa, a two-time Major champion, who delivered a stellar 67 on Saturday to take a one-shot lead. Right on his heels is Russell Henley, who matched Morikawa’s round and is set to go head-to-head with him in the final pairing at 1:45 PM EST (5:45 PM GMT).
Corey Conners, sitting two shots off the lead at eight under, is set to tee off at 1:35 PM EST (5:35 PM GMT), alongside former World No. 1 Jason Day, who starts his final round at seven under.
