As you can see, there’s been a plethora of holes-in-one at this event over the past few years. In fact, there have been six in just the last four iterations of the tournament. Dating back the past 10 years, there has been a total of nine aces at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

So, with that in mind, especially with the recent history, I’m going to bet on “yes” there will be a hole-in-one this week at -125.
