Arnold Palmer Invitational

The Arnold Palmer Invitational gets started with competitive play today and participants may find the course a little trickier.

Since the 2003, Arnold Palmer has been upping the difficulty level of the Bay Hill Club and Lodge course by taking two strokes off par, increasing density of the rough, and many other measures. Competitors will notice the difference as the tournament progresses through the weekend. Upcoming stops on the PGA Tour include the WGC-CA in Miami from March 22 - 25 and the Shell Houston Open from March 29 - April 1.
