More about The Arnold Palmer Invitational
The Arnold Palmer Invitational began in 1979 and was originally known as the Bay Hill Citrus Classic. The tournament was founded after Arnold Palmer, one of golf’s greatest legends, took ownership of the Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida, in 1974. Palmer’s vision was to create a premier PGA TOUR event that would challenge the world’s best golfers while celebrating the sport’s traditions.
Before becoming an official PGA TOUR stop, Bay Hill hosted the Florida Citrus Open from 1966 to 1978, but Palmer’s involvement helped elevate the tournament’s prestige. In 2007, the event was officially renamed the Arnold Palmer Invitational to honor his legacy. Over the years, the tournament has grown into one of the most prestigious stops on the PGA TOUR, attracting top-ranked players and featuring legendary performances, including Tiger Woods’ record eight victories. Today, the event remains a tribute to Palmer’s lasting impact on golf, combining elite competition with the values he championed.
