Bamford Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Squeezed by the Genesis Invitational and the WGC on one side and the Players Championship on the other, the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational isn't as stellar as it has been in the past, but boy - it's still a strong tournament - as it should be. We have defending champion Tyrrell Hatton teeing it up with Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood, Sungjae Im, Justin Rose, Marc Leishman, Jason Day, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Francesco Molinari, and Rickie Fowler. And lifting the Arnold Palme Invitational still means something for the elite in world golf - it's a title they want to win. Looking back to the winners list here American's don't dominate. Yes Tiger Woods is an 8-time winner, but since 2010 Ernie Els, Martin Laird, Jason Day, Marc Leishman, Rory McIlroy, Francesco Molinari and Tyrrell Hatton have won this. 2 wins for Tiger Woods and another 2 from Matt Every are the US victories in the past 11 renewals. Bay Hill is a stretching 7,454 yard, Par 72 features a set of tough par-4s, plus 3 of the par-5s measure over 550 yards. To score around here every facet of a player’s game is tested to the maximum. Not many PGA Tour events these days feature 4″ of rough plus green complexes that can run as firm as 12 on the stimpmeter if the elements allow. Oh yes and water hazards on 9 of the 18 holes. My selections Matthew Fitzpatrick 25/1 Francesco Molinari 33/1 Sam Burns 45/1 Jason Kokrak 45/1 Wyndham Clark 110/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnrobertson Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 40/1 unibet Fleetwood looks overpriced considering he has a good record here in the past, just needs to bounce back and hopefully get the putter working 28/1 bet365 Molinari a past winner here who has had 2 top 10 this year on the tour in 2021 8/1 bet365 McIIroy won here in 2018 and in his last 4 tries not finished out of the top 6 70/1 bet365 Bezuidenhout plays well in Florida, shot a 65 here last year before the tournament was cancelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
