The 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational is at Bay Hill in Orlando, Florida. The reigning champion Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the event last week due to injuries, so we’ll get a different golfer taking home the purse in 2022.

The total purse for the event that was once known as the Bay Hill Invitational is $12 million. Whoever takes home first place will win $2,160,000, which is the usual 18 percent payout for all Tour events. But this one comes with a few more goodies than most.

Because it’s considered one of the five invitational events, the winner will receive a three-year exemption on the PGA Tour instead of just two years. There’s also no Monday qualifying for four players, and the $12 million purse is second only to next week’s Players Championship which guarantees a whopping $20 million added to the prize pool.

This is also a limited field event for just 120 players, which means some fully-exempt PGA Tour pros are left behind. The reigning US Amateur champion is allowed to participate if they’re still an amateur, but having won a major in the last five years or a Tour event in the last year is the best way to make the field.
