Arnold Palmer Invitational LIVE: Dates, tee times, leaderboard, prize money and how to follow

The PGA Tour has returned for its third signature event of the year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week.

Russell Henley won in 2025 when he finished 11 under and ahead of his fellow American Collin Morikawa in a dramatic finale.

Henley was trailing Morikawa by three before the final five holes, but fought back to lift his fifth career PGA title.

With less than two weeks until The Players Championship, the Arnold Palmer Invitational is a great chance for players to refine their swings.

However, the tournament is a prestigious event in its own right and is set to deliver an all-star cast on the golf course.

Former champions Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Kurt Kitayama are among the competitors, and Henley is back to defend his crown.
