Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler headline early Arnold Palmer Invitational field

International superstar Rory McIlroy, fan favorite Rickie Fowler, 2020 defending champion Tyrrell Hatton and 2021 PGA Tour winner Patrick Reed headline the list of early commitments for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, slated for March 4-7 at Orlando’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

McIlroy, an 18-time Tour winner, won the event in 2018 and is among seven former champions, including 2017 winner Marc Leishman and 2016 Jason Day.

Last year, Hatton managed fast, firm conditions en route to a 4-under-par 284, the highest winning score in the event’s 42-year history at Bay Hill. The 28-year-old recently won January’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on the European Tour and sits at No.
