The PGA Tour heads to Orlando for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill beginning on Thursday at 7:40 a.m. ET. It’s another Signature Event, raising the total purse to $20 million and bringing back many of the top players who have taken the past few weeks off following the West Coast Swing. Scottie Scheffler is the event’s defending champion and is the clear +320 favorite (risk $100 to win $320) in the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational odds to repeat.

Rory McIlroy (+750), Ludvig Aberg +(1600), Xander Schauffele (+1600), Collin Morikawa (+2200), Hideki Matsuyama (+2500) and
Justin Thomas (+2800) are the other golfers in the Arnold Palmer Invitational field getting odds to win lower than +3000. There are also PGA odds for top-five, top-10, head-to-head and more to consider. Before locking in your 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters — its third Masters in a row — and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.

Now that the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard from the model. Here are three Arnold Palmer Invitational best bets, based on the model’s projections, to target:

Viktor Hovland to win (+5500)
The 27-year-old Norwegian struggled at the Genesis, failing to make the cut, but he was consistent in the prior two events — finishing T22 at Pebble Beach and T36 at The Sentry. He only had one round higher than 70 during those two tournaments. Bay Hill is a course he’s played well traditionally, finishing inside the top 50 in all six career events at Bay Hill, including a pair of top-10 finishes. The model has him cracking the top 10 this week and gives him a better chance to win than his odds imply. Now, see the entire projected 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard from the model that nailed 13 majors.

Sepp Straka to finish top-20 (+145)
Straka missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational, snapping an impressive three-tournament streak where he finished well inside the top 20, including a win at The American Express. He bounced back last week at the Cognizant Classic, however, finishing 11th. Overall, he’s finished top 20 in five of seven PGA events this year and he ranks 11th on tour in total strokes gained. The model has him finishing well inside the top 20, making this a strong value with the the plus-money payout. Get Arnold Palmer Invitational best bets for a $1 million parlay from expert Eric Cohen, who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in seven events over the last two seasons, right here.

Justin Thomas to finish top-5 (+410)
The 15-time PGA Tour winner has been in a win drought since 2022, but he’s getting close to a return to the top of a leaderboard. He’s finished T9 or better three times already this season. If you’re not ready to back him as an outright winner (+2800) yet, the top-five market still brings a big return for Thomas this week, and the model likes his chances of hitting this prop. Get Arnold Palmer Invitational picks here from Patrick McDonald, the expert who called Jake Knapp’s win (50-1) at last year’s Mexico Open.

Where to bet on PGA Tour tournaments
Here are some of the sportsbooks to bet on the Arnold Palmer Invitational, along with the various PGA Tour sportsbook promos they currently offer.

The PGA Tour schedule has two tournaments this week with the 2025 Puerto Rico Open playing opposite the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The former will be held at Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande. The event will be contested at the Championship Course, a par-72, 7,506-yard course which checks out as the seventh-longest on tour this season. Even with the length, low scores will be expected at the Puerto Rico Open 2025 as the last five winners have all shot 19-under-par or better, including last year’s champion, Brice Garnett at 19-under.

Play tees off on Thursday, and despite his achievement a year ago, Garnett is a 40-1 long shot. The favorite in the latest 2025 Puerto Rico Open odds is Niklas Norgaard (18-1), with Ryan Gerard just behind him at 20-1. Michael Thorbjornsen (22-1), the former PGA Tour University No. 1, is the only other golfer at 25-1 or shorter as he’s coming off his best finish (T39) of the year at the Cognizant Classic. Before locking in your 2025 Puerto Rico Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters — its third Masters in a row — and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics.

Now that the 2025 Puerto Rico Open field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

2025 Puerto Rico Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Puerto Rico Open: Ryan Gerard, one of the top favorites at 20-1, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. Gerard has made the cut in each of his last six PGA Tour events, including all five this year, but he hasn’t truly threatened to win any of those tournaments. He has zero top 10s across this stretch, and for his PGA Tour career, the former UNC Tar Heel has just a pair of top 10s across 29 starts.

Gerard is solid with iron play but lacks length off the tee, which could be an issue this week. At 7,506 yards, Grand Reserve Country Club is the seventh-longest course on tour this season, and Gerard ranks 115th in driving distance — all drives, as well as 107th in total driving efficiency. His work on the greens also leaves lots to be desired as Gerard is 91st on tour in putting average. For someone who has obvious holes in his game and has yet to see his name near the top of the leaderboard, there are far better options to utilize Puerto Rico Open 2025 bets on. See who else to fade here.

Another surprise: Matti Schmid, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Schmid is coming off a solid 18th-place finish at the Cognizant Classic and has had previous success at the Puerto Rico Open. He was in contention for winning it all a year ago as he entered the final round tied for second before a rough Sunday, but he still finished the tournament with a top 10 finish.

As the coastal course that Grand Reserve is, wind can often wreck shots off the tee. However, Schmid has the power to mitigate windy conditions as he ranks 30th in driving distance out of 184 qualified golfers. Those long drives often lead to advantageous putting opportunities, and Schmid takes advantage of those. The German ranks 18th on tour in total putting but ranks third amongst those in the 2025 Puerto Rico Open field. Few can combine Schmid’s impressive course history with a game that suits this course, so he shouldn’t be overlooked despite his long odds. See who else to pick here.

How to make 2025 Puerto Rico Open picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 30-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.

Where to bet on PGA Tour tournaments
Here are some of the sportsbooks to bet on the Puerto Rico Open along with the various PGA Tour sportsbook promos they currently offer.

The fourth signature event of the 2025 PGA Tour season takes place this week with the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Scottie Scheffler, winner of two of the last three Arnold Palmer Invitationals, is the +320 favorite (risk $100 to win $320), according to the latest 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational odds. Scheffler is -300 (risk $300 to win $100) to finish inside the top 10 and -150 to record a top-five finish. But if you are looking to score a bigger payday when making 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational bets, Scheffler likely isn’t your target. Who are some longshots that can pull off a shocking result at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, which tees off from Bay Hill Golf Course in Florida on Thursday, March 6? The first round is set to get underway at 7:40 a.m. ET.

Sandwiched between Scheffer’s two victories is Kurt Kitayama, who won as one of the longest longshots in the Arnold Palmer Invitational field in 2023. Given significant longshots have proven the ability to win at Bay Hill recently, could golfers like Matt Fitzpatrick (55-1), Shane Lowry (65-1) or Jason Day (80-1) have value in your 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational bets? Lowry has finished T-11 or better in two of his last three starts on tour and is +300 (risk $100 to win $300) to finish inside the top 10 this week. Before locking in your 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up over $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters — its third Masters in a row — and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open.

Now that the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard. Here are three Arnold Palmer Invitational sleepers to target:

Justin Thomas (28-1)
Thomas has back-to-back top-10 finishes, most recently finishing T-9 at The Genesis Invitational. The 15-time PGA Tour winner is coming off a significantly stronger 2024 season than he had before, finishing 14th in the final FedEx Cup standings last year after missing the top 70 the year before. The 31-year-old finished T-2 at The American Express in his second tournament of the year. He is seventh overall in strokes gained, including fifth in strokes gained: approach to green. Thomas is second on Par 4s and putting average while ranking fourth in scoring average (68.5) and the model projects his strong start to continue this week. Now, see the entire projected 2025 Arnold Palmer leaderboard from the model that’s nailed 13 majors.

Tommy Fleetwood (35-1)
The 34-year-old finished T-5 at The Genesis Invitational in his last tournament and rebounded from an opening round 75 to shoot three rounds below 70. He shot a 68 in his final round to climb into the top five as he enters a tournament where he’s had previous success. Fleetwood has three top-10 finishes over eight career appearances at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, including finishing T-3 in 2019. Fleetwood is No. 1 in strokes gained: approach to green early into the 2025 PGA Tour season and eighth overall in strokes gained. Get Arnold Palmer Invitational best bets from golf insider Patrick McDonald, who gave out Sepp Straka as a 66-1 longshot at the 2025 American Express, right here.

Viktor Hovland (55-1)
Hovland missed the cut at The Genesis Invitational and hasn’t finished inside the top 20 in any of his first three tournaments this season. However, Hovland was 12th in the final FedEx Cup standings last year while finishing in the top 25 in half of his events (eight of 16). He was the FedEx Cup champion the year before with elite consistency and 18 top-25 finishes over 23 events in the 2022-23 PGA Tour season. His slow start has drastically impacted his odds to the point where the model projects him as one of the best values in the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational field. Hovland has made the cut in each of his previous six Arnold Palmer Invitationals, including finishing T-2 in 2022. Now, see the entire projected 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard from the model that’s nailed 13 majors.
