Tyrrell Hatton +4000
Hatton’s coming off a rollercoaster performance in his defense of his 2020 title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He opened and closed the tournament with rounds of plus-5, 77, but his second round of 67 was the second-best round of the day and his third-round 66 was Saturday’s fourth-best score.
He lost 1.22 strokes per round on the greens last week, but he gained 0.96 strokes per round around the greens with 2.52 Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and 0.86 SG: Approach per round. He’s still averaging 0.33 SG: Putting per round for the 2020-21 season and should bounce back with the flat stick.

Abraham Ancer +7000
Ancer leads the PGA Tour in driving accuracy at 72.50% through 40 rounds. Additionally, he’s T-31 in par 5 scoring average and T-37 in bogey avoidance, all of which are key stats for the 7,189-yard, par-72 TPC Sawgrass.

Lee Westwood +10000
This is a staggering price for last week’s runner-up to DeChambeau. Westwood was third in last week’s field with 1.57 SG: Approach and led the field with 3.30 SG: Tee-to-Green per round. His shorter driver won’t be as much of a disadvantage against this week’s top contenders at the shorter venue as it was against DeChambeau Sunday at Bay Hill.

A PGA Tour field of 123 golfers is at Bay Hill Club & Lodge this week for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Collin Morikawa isn’t in attendance following his victory at last week’s WGC-Workday Championship. Below, we look at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions to win.
Tyrrell Hatton (+1800) returns to Bay Hill to defend his 2020 API title. It was his first career PGA Tour victory, but he has two wins on the European Tour since the beginning of last year, as well. Viktor Hovland is the top player in the field by the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings.
The field is strong for the marquee event but has several notable omissions, including Dustin Johnson. It’s a busy stretch of the PGA Tour schedule in the run-up to the 2021 Masters Tournament. The Players Championship takes place next week at TPC Sawgrass.

Francesco Molinari (+2800)
Molinari returns to the site of his most recent PGA Tour victory, having won this event in 2019. He didn’t defend his title last year, as he withdrew due to a back injury and played just seven events in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
He has been much more active early in 2021 and has three top-10 finishes in four events, including a T-8 at The Genesis Invitational two weeks ago. He’s averaging 0.55 Strokes Gained: Approach and 0.51 SG: Around-the-Green per round on the 2020-21 season.

Henrik Stenson (+12500)

He missed the cut in two of his last four appearances at the API, but he has five top-10 finishes since 2013, including a fourth-place result in 2018. He’ll make his 2021 PGA Tour debut following back-to-back missed cuts at the European Tour’s Saudi International and Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
His form doesn’t inspire confidence but the familiar venue should get him back on track as he begins to gear up for the Masters.
