PGA Tour Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/arnold-palmer-invitational-presented-by-mastercard/leaderboard.html
I have spent a lifetime debating who has been the greatest golfer, and there is no definitive answer for a variety of reasons, era and equipment come to the forefront.
If you ask who is the most important there is one answer.. Arnold Palmer.
Many of the world's best are at Bay Hill this week as round one gets underway to play his Arnold Palmer Invitational. Tiger who has won it a Sam Snead like 8 times and Jason Day the 2016 winner have had to withdraw. Tiger with a stiff neck, Jason's back gave out after 6 holes this morning.
Rory McIlroy is the defending champion, I watched his press conference and he continued to talk about how he has finally at 29, and happily married, got his priorities in life and in golf in order. Winning is very important, but playing as well as he can each week is more important and allows him to leave the course happy every day.
There are 3 Canadians in play: Corey Connors, Roger Sloan and Adam Hadwin.
It is early in the season for Frankie Molinari, coming off the career year of all years, ultimately winning the prestigious World Athlete of the Year award. He played well in Mexico gaining 4.7 strokes on approach shots with his brand new irons. Bay Hill requires great long iron play, especially on the long par 3's, and he is one of the best iron players in the game. At 35-1 this Open champion is worth a flutter, and remember he has been in the top 10 three of the last five years at Bay Hill.
