The Arnold Palmer Invitational, presented by Mastercard, is gearing up to be one of the most anticipated events on the PGA Tour’s calendar.

This year, the field is stacked with talent, including defending champion Kurt Kitayama, recent Cognizant Classic winner Austin Eckroat, and the world’s top-ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler. Prepare for an enthralling competition as these and many other top golfers vie for the $20 million purse. Even if you can’t make it to the event, there’s no need to worry. You can catch all the action live from the comfort of your home!
