The PGA Tour's fourth signature event of the year is the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, where many of the world's best players compete.

In the 2024 edition, Scottie Scheffler cruised to a five-shot win - a title that kickstarted a brilliant season where he largely dominated proceedings.

He has begun the 2025 season in typically decent form with two top-10 finishes in his three starts, but he has yet to add a 14th PGA Tour title to his resume so far. He'll be hoping history repeats itself at the Florida tournament this year.

In the opening two rounds, he will be alongside Ludvig Aberg, a man who does have a victory to his name this season at the Genesis Invitational. The pair get started at 9.45am ET (2.45pm GMT) on Thursday, with a start time of 1.00pm ET (6.00pm GMT) on Friday.

Another player with a win in a signature event this season is Rory McIlroy, who claimed his 27th PGA Tour title at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He's grouped with his friend and playing partner for last year's Zurich Classic of New Orleans victory, Shane Lowry, in the first two rounds.

They get underway at 1.00pm ET (6.00pm GMT) in the first round before teeing it up at 9.45am ET (2.45pm GMT) in the second round.

One big-name player who has endured a frustrating start to the year is Xander Schauffele. He's been out of action with a rib injury since a T30 at The Sentry. However, he has now recovered and will play with Justin Thomas in the first two rounds. They begin at 1.10pm ET (6.10pm GMT) on Thursday and 9.55am ET (2.55pm GMT) on Friday.
