A limited field did nothing to stifle 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 is in the process of shelling out $20 million to those players who made the cut this week in Orlando.
As a player invitational, the API awards the winner $4 million, 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.
On Sunday, Russell Henley edged Collin Morikawa by a single stroke late in the final round to claim the fifth win of his PGA Tour career, the first in more than two years and the first signature event trophy — along with the biggest single-tournament check — of his life.
Here are your four 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)
- Arnold Palmer Invitational: Russell Henley ($4 million)
The winners are not the only ones going home smiles on their faces this year. This week, all players inside the top four cleared seven figures with those inside the top 11 cashing checks north of $500,000.
