Arnold Palmer Invitational Golf Tips – Three Bets Against the Field

The PGA Tour remains in Florida this week as we head to one of the most iconic courses in America, Bay Hill GC.

Many of the world’s best are taken the week off the WGC last week which is slightly disappointing but it still looks set to be a fantastic week.

 

Rory McIlroy

My first selection is RORY MCILROY 8/1 WIN. I really like Rory this week and I can’t get away from him. His ball-striking looked back to the level we expect from him last week where he finished in a tie for 6th. That was a great bounce back after the missed cut the previous week and I expect him to kick on now in the run-up to the Masters. In his last five starts here at Bay Hill he has a win to his name in 2018 and has finished in the top six in four of his last five starts here. He adores the place and this weaker field provides him with a fantastic opportunity to get back into the winners circle.

 

Sungjae Im

My next selection is SUNGJAE IM 22/1 EW. Im has all the attributes for this layout and that has been proven by his two third-place finishes in the last two years here. He has a great record in the state of Florida where he won his maiden PGA Tour title last year and he certainly feels at home in this part of the country. He was a little hit and miss last week where he finished tied 28th but I’m hoping the return to a venue we know he loves will give him that extra spark to compete for the trophy. I think he’s a fair each-way price given the weaker field this week.

 

Francesco Molinari

My final selection is FRANCESCO MOLINARI 30/1 EW. Molinari has looked more like himself at the start of 2021 and that has been backed up by some strong results. He’s made four starts in 2021 and managed to bag a top 10 in three of them four starts. They have been in deeper events than this and he now returns to a course he absolutely adores. He’s played here seven times and is yet to miss the cut. He has four top 10s here which includes a victory in 2019. The ball striking machine is obviously well suited to this layout and looks sure to go well.
