The PGA Tour landed in Orlando for the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, with the signature event offering a $20 million purse, with $4 million to the winner.
Big changes appear to be coming to the PGA Tour, but the Arnold Palmer Invitational remains a marquee event, just as its founder would’ve wanted. This year the API is one of the Tour’s three “legacy” signature events, which means it features a 36-hole cut, even with its smaller 72-man field.
Akshay Bhatia ran down Daniel Berger on Sunday to win the biggest title in his career, finishing off the victory with a par on the first playoff hole. Berger was going for a wire-to-wire win and a five-year drought buster, but fell in the playoff after a three-putt from across the green on 18 at Bay Hill.
Here are the final payouts for the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
