As always, the Bay Hills Golf Course is hosting the event. The event was renamed the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2007 as the designing company of Palmer redesigned the course in 1989.
Although defending champion Bryson DeChambeau is not attending the API this year due to health issues, more than 30 of the World’s top 50 are competing. As one can expect, winning the competition would be tough.
The purse money of the tournament
The purse money of the Arnold Palmer Invitational of 2022 is $12 million. The champion would bag the $2,160,000 out of the purse money, which is the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour’s prize money distribution chart. The rest of the money will be distributed among all the players who finish the final round.
