Visit: https://sportspub.com/golf-tournaments/arnold-palmer-invitational-2022/ Arnold Palmer Invitational 2022 Overview The PGA Tour makes its way to Bay Hill Club and Lodge just southwest of Orlando this week. The Arnold Palmer Invitational, otherwise known as the Tiger Woods Invitational. Arnold Palmer’s development of Bay Hill and relocation to the area not only transformed Central Florida into a recreation destination prior to the opening of Disney World in 1971, but also transformed the entire state of Florida into a golfing mecca. Mr. Palmer purchased the course in 1975, and the course has hosted a PGA Tour event every year since 1979. Players often talk about about this event having a major feel to it. There is special feel to this event at Arnold’s place, this is one trophy outside the 4 majors that every player wants in their cabinet. Bay Hill was given a makeover in 2015. The fairways have been widened and the number of trees have been reduced, making driving here much easier than at the other Florida Swing stops at PGA National and Copperhead. Driving Distance is now a key factor here which could go way to explaining the success of Bryson and Rory in recent times, two of the biggest hitters on the PGA Tour. Generous fairways encourage golfers to use their driver frequently, but missing fairways creates some issues, with Bay Hill ranking as one of the most difficult courses to get the ball close to the hole from the rough so player will need to compete brute strength with finesse off the tee . The 7,454-yard, Par 72 course features a number of difficult par-4s, as well as three par-5s that are over 550 yards long but it’s Par 3’s that stand out, they are the longest of all stops on the pga tour circuit playing 199- 235yards in length. There will be high majority of shot from 200 yards plus this week. The worlds best long iron players will be licking their lips, Bay Hill provides the opportunity for them to show their ball striking prowess. Bay Hill was the first golf course in the world to be planted with Tifway bermudagrass. The greens were re-grassed in 2015 and are larger than average, with greens averaging 7,500 square feet according to the tournament fact sheet. The putting surfaces are smooth and undulating. There are 84 sand bunkers to avoid, and water plays a role on nine of the holes. We have seen winning scores of 4under all the way to 18under par in the last 6 years, the whether can play a huge factor in determining the score her at Bay Hill. I expect fast and firm condition this week with a winning score in the low teens. A great week ahead with a much improved field from last year this is an event fans, player and pundits look forward to , I can’t wait for the action Thursday.
