Odds revealed: Scottie Scheffler leads the betting for the Arnold Palmer Invitational
Close behind him in the betting lines is five-time major champion Rory McIlroy, available at 10/1.
The Northern Irishman is aiming to draw level with Scheffler on two victories at the esteemed Arnold Palmer Invitational, adding another chapter to their growing rivalry.
While the odds point towards a potential two-man battle between golf’s leading figureheads, the field is packed with quality - and there are several challengers who could offer real value as the tournament unfolds.
With that in mind, for those anticipating somewhat of an outsider to reign supreme, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele round out the five favourites in the market at 22/1, 25/1, 28/1 and 28/1 respectively.
Lastly, reigning champion Russell Henley is tied for seventh in the market at 40/1.
