Top Arnold Palmer Invitational Predictions for 2023

At the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2023, the model is in for one big surprise: Morikawa, a two-time Grand Champion and one of the big favorites, stumbles this week and doesn’t even make the top 10. Morikawa finished T-6 or better in three of his last four PGA Tour starts, and he secured a T-9 finish in his most recent start at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

However, Morikawa struggled hard with his stick this season, finishing 94th in hits scored: putting (.063), 110th in strikes per round (29.08), and 159th. by total number of putting (287.6). He also ranks 213th on the PGA Tour in 100-yard approaches, which doesn’t bode well for his chances of finishing at the top of the leaderboard this week. He is not the best choice to win it all and there are much better values ​​in the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2023 field.

Another surprise: Patrick Cantley, a 28-1 long-ranger, is on his way to the title. Cantley has a much better chance of winning everything than his odds suggest, which is why he is a target for anyone looking for huge money.

Cantlay is a long ball player who has averaged 311.8 yards per throw this season, 17th on the PGA Tour. Cantley’s ability to dribble deep down the fairway allowed him to use his short irons on close shots.
