Golf in March begins with two huge PGA Tour events starting with the $20 million Arnold Palmer Invitational (API) followed by the $25 million Players Championship. The King’s tournament at the Bay Hill Club in Orlando is a legacy Signature Event with a $20 million prize pool and $4 million awarded to the winner from a limited field of 72 golfers. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion, and he headlines 38 of the top 40 players in the world rankings.

The prohibitive favorites Scottie Scheffler (2024, 2022) and Rory McIlroy (2018) rank No. 1 and No. 3 in the world, and both are past winners at Arnie’s Place at Bay Hill in Orlando. The API also marks the return of world No. 2 Xander Schauffele, who has been recovering from a rib injury and hasn’t competed on the PGA Tour since the season-opening Sentry in early January.
Sunday’s Cognizant Classic longshot winner Joe Highsmith has moved into the API field following his first PGA Tour victory while earning entry into the remaining four 2025 Signature Events, Players Championship and The Masters.
