Arnold Palmer Invitational 2023 tee times, field, purse, odds and how to watch

Diving into the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational tee times, field, purse and prize money, odds, and how to watch and stream the loaded PGA Tour event.

Chris Kirk, fresh off his first victory on the PGA Tour in seven years, will be teeing it up again this week at Bay Hill Club & Lodge for the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Scottie Scheffler donned the iconic red sweater given to the winner of the API as an homage to Palmer last year and will be back to defend his title but with much more competition this year.

While the Arnold Palmer Invitational has always drawn a strong field the week before THE PLAYERS Championship, it has been set aside as an elevated event in 2023, which means that the top players in golf will be teeing it up this week and trying to dethrone Scheffler, who is trying to recreate his hot run from 2022 after repeating in Phoenix a few weeks ago. Jon Rahm might have something to say about that, though, after winning the Genesis and notching victories in three of his first five PGA Tour starts this year.

This is going to be a phenomenal tournament and we have everything you need to know about the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
