Golf Betting Preview and Picks: 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational
The Spring Swing continues with the first PGA Tour tournament in March. The elevated 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational (API) at Bay Hill drew 27 of the top 30 players in the world and 44 of the top 50. The $20 million prize pool ($3.6 million to winner) has an impact, as last year the 2022 API had 12 of the top 25 players in the world competing and Scottie Scheffler won during his smoking hot streak on his way to 2022 PGA Tour player of the year honors.
I provide a betting preview for the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational in Forbes, and add FanDuel odds to win, tournament match-up picks and betting recommendations along with other information you can bet on for one of the biggest non-major golf tournaments of the year. I also add additional coverage for FanDuel and The Duel Sports and dark horse picks of interest.
