Arnold Palmer Invitational

[-mmm-]

The last leg of the Florida swing till they come back for the Players in May. In fact this slot (2 weeks before the Masters) was the traditional placeholder for the Players before they switched the schedule around a couple years ago. However this tourney is no slouch, with both its namesake and being played at the beautiful par 70 Bay Hill Club in Orlando. Like last week don't expect too much in high scores, especially if the wind kicks in. Tiger is the defending champ (he also won this 4 times in a row from 2000-03) and the winner takes home $1,044,000. And Im very surprised to see a Skippy sighting here given this is a restricted field event (only the top 70 $$$ guys from last year automatically get slots into it).
