Outright Bets for The Arnold Palmer Invitational 2023

Well it wasn't me, but good to see our Butterfly King, Pat Perry, get off the goose egg and hit Kirk at 35/1 last week. Hope you stuck with him! I've really been scratching my head as to why I didn't have Kirk on the card seeing as how I talked about him all week, but I had the blinders on for Jhonny V in that range. Oh well!

The PGA TOUR heads to Bay Hill (shit course) for the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2023, and we get another elevated field with the best players in the world. We've already heard a few things from our contacts at Bay Hill this week, and one things for sure...a lot of top end players that haven't made it a point to play here over the years...genuinely hate this golf course.

Of course, we're all waiting as long as possible here on this Wednesday afternoon to see what the Florida wind forecasts are going to show us as the winds are certainly gonna blow starting on Friday. This may not be a bad week to save some units on the front end of the tournament to either grab a live opportunity or just save them for The Players next week.

Bay Hill has really produced a lot of mid tier and favorite winners for the most part over the years with a few strange exceptions. Tiger made this course his biyatch with near perfect ball striking. We're expecting soft-ish fairways and hard AF greens this week. That's going to lend itself to longer hitters with shorter, more lofted irons approaching these bermuda surfaces.

All in all, regardless of weather, this field playing on Bay Hill is likely going to resemble that of a PGA Championship with difficult scoring giving us a winner in the -10 to -12 range. I'm going to pound the middle of the betting board and sprinkle in some triple digit ball strikers I pray can get lucky with the putter.
