A limited field has done nothing to stiffle the earning potential for top finishers in the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club & Lodge. Representing the fourth signature event of the season, the Arnold Palmer Invitational will shell out $20 million to those players who make the cut this week in Orlando.
As a player invitational, the API will award the winner $4 million on Sunday matching the total from last month’s Genesis Invitational. There it was Ludvig Åberg who reigned supreme and cashed the top prize at Torrey Pines to become the third different winner in as many signature events to start the season.
Here are your three winners from the 2025 signature events thus far:
- The Sentry: Hideki Matsuyama ($3.6 million)
- Pebble Beach Pro Am: Rory McIlroy ($3.6 million)
- Genesis Invitational: Ludvig Åberg ($4 million)
The winners are not the only ones who will be going home with a smile on their faces this year. This week, all players inside the top four will clear seven figures with those inside the top 11 cashing checks north of $500,000.
Let’s take a look at the payout list for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational Invitational through the 70 players at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
