Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025 Prize Money<\/h2>\n

A field of 72 golf<\/a> players will compete for a share of the $20m prize money on offer at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational.<\/p>\n

The tournament at Bay Hill in Florida, is one of the PGA Tour’s signature events. There will be a star-studded field including Rory McIlroy<\/a> and defending champion Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n

Scheffler won this tournament last year before going on to win the Players Championship and The Masters. He will be eager to win again and build some momentum ahead of defending his Masters Championship.<\/p>\n

Should he successfully defend his championship, he will take home the $4m which is on offer to the winner.<\/p>\n

This is $1.8m more than the second-place finisher will receive, with third getting $1.4m and fourth $1m.<\/p>\n

The Arnold Palmer Invitational features a 36-hole cut to the top 50 and ties plus any player within 10 shots of the lead.<\/p>\n

It is the fourth signature event of the year, with the opening three won by Hideki Matsuyama, McIlroy and Ludvig Aberg.<\/p>\n

Below is a table outlining the FULL Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025 prize money and purse breakdown for those who make the cut.<\/p>\n
