Here is what to know about the oddsboard:
The Favorites: Scottie Scheffler comes into this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational as the favorite to claim the top prize in Orlando. The World No. 1 golfer won this tournament in 2022 and in 2024, but in 2025, he finished T-11. With four majors on his résumé, Scheffler stands to face stiff competition against Rory McIlroy, the second name on this list. And Rory's not just second on the oddsboard, he's also the second-ranked golfer in the world. The last time McIlroy won at Bay Hill was in 2018. He finished T15 in last year's invitational.
The Champ: You have to scroll down the board a bit to find reigning champ Russell Henley, whose odds to win this weekend are on the longer side at +2700. And winning two in a row is no easy feat. The last player to go back-to-back at Bay Hill was Matt Every (2014, 2015). Tiger Woods also did it, winning in 2012 and 2013. Henley, currently No. 7 in the world rankings, took last year's tournament by rallying with a 2-under 70 to edge out Collin Morikawa.
