Scottie Scheffler dominates the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a flawless putting performance, leading to a five-shot victory. Will Zalatoris impresses with a strong lead at Bay Hill after a T2 finish at Genesis. Ben Kohles and Jimmy Stanger co-lead at the Puerto Rico Open.
• T2 at Riv, T4 at Bay Hill • Three top 5s and six top 10s in 9 majors as pro • T6 and 2nd in two starts at ANGC • Four straight positive SG putting events with 🧹 Will Zalatoris should be the second shortest favorite to win the Masters behind Scheffler. He's currently ~7th
At the toughest tournament of the year to prognosticate, defending champion Scottie Scheffler is the proper favorite, but there could be value in trying to find a player who can beat him at his own game. The Players Championship betting guide: https://t.co/ufhrk96v72
What Scottie did yesterday at Bay Hill is a problem, but what he did at TPC Sawgrass last year is terrifying. Finished 48th in putting -- almost exactly field average -- and beat everybody in the field but Hatton by *seven* https://t.co/Jne5aOnOCC
Stellar performance from Scottie Scheffler 🏆 His victory @APInv moves him to No. 1 in the #ComcastBusinessTOURTOP10. https://t.co/e16HRfInxs
The same player led the API in SG: Approach last week and leads the PGA Tour in that category this season... and it's not Scottie Scheffler. That would be Tom Hoge, who just happened to finish T-3 at The Players last year.
#ScottieScheffler might be boring and he may be the Maestro of Monotony, but mark my words: He is getting ready to dominate golf. Here's my column after Scheffler routed the field at The Arnie: https://t.co/rRwBP25hFl

Scottie was 16 for 16 inside 10 feet on Sunday with his new putter. He led the field in SG: Putting in the final round 💪
Congrats to Scottie. Changing putters works. https://t.co/L81qJabLOl
Scottie Scheffler didn't miss a putt inside 15 feet on the weekend. On a tough Sunday at Bay Hill, he played bogey-free in the final group and closed with a 6-under 66, by two shots the best score of the final round. The result was a five-shot victory... https://t.co/Vg8VrMQxCF

Scottie Scheffler was automatic from inside 15 feet. 🔥 https://t.co/0toZwoTwmy
We’ll see how long the honeymoon lasts, but Scottie Scheffler armed with a putter that cooperates is going to be a difficult proposition for any other elite-level player with designs on winning big-time events this year.
It’s not that he won It’s not that he won by 5 It’s not that he had the only bogey free round of the ENTIRE field It’s that he found a putter 16 of 16 inside 15 feet😳 Good luck to the rest of the tour That.. was a masterpiece #ScottiesBack @PGATOUR #ArnoldPalmerInvitational https://t.co/u4uecmUrI4
Hard to believe with Scheffler’s tee-to-green game that it’s been a year since last win @THEPLAYERS. Be favorite at Stadium Course.

Scottie worldwide since Jan. 1, 2022 (does not include team events). • 50 starts • 8 wins • 3 missed cuts • 33 top 10s • 21 top 3s (!!) • 5 major top 10s • 119 rounds in the 60s • 520 under par (lol) • $41.8M earned https://t.co/bJro50Yoyq
There goes the narrative around longshot winners. Scottie Scheffler breaks the nine-week trend, he’ll be the first pre-tourney fave to win a PGA Tour event since Ludvig Åberg at last year’s RSM Classic.
Oh boy, did Scottie Scheffler learn how to putt? It's so over https://t.co/PFdJTdKkSO

When Scottie putts well he’s unstoppable. Masterclass this week https://t.co/GOmiWhmea0
Easy to watch Scottie Scheffler today and wonder how it’s been 51 weeks since his last official victory, but even easier to answer that question without really trying too hard. (Psst… it’s his putter.)
At the turn on Saturday, Sam Burns was one shot up on Scottie Scheffler. He's currently down 15.
Scheffler's best putting weeks since the beginning of 2022: 2022 WM Open: WIN 2022 Bay Hill: WIN 2022 US Open: T2 (missed by 1) 2024 Bay Hill: (looking like) WIN 2022 Masters: WIN

Scottie. https://t.co/DefYf9lu77
Beyond elite ball-striking. Terrific consistency week to week. Impressive, underrated short game. Often unable to figure out the putter. Might not matter because he can win still events with negative SG putting. Scottie is the modern Vijay Singh.

Just noticed two #UVA alums are at the very top of the leaderboard - leader Ben Kohles (-18) and T-2 Jimmy Stanger (-16) - heading into the final round of the Puerto Rico Open. Both seeking their first #PGATour wins.

the new swing, the broomstick putter and the different approach after 8 months off — it’s all working for Will Zalatoris, who now has a 4-shot lead at Bay Hill https://t.co/vgHElsP17V
Maybe it’s just me… but I applaud the fact that Scottie changed putters and is trying a brand new routine on the greens. And dare I say… so far… it’s looks better ⛳️ https://t.co/dTjBkuRr38

Will Zalatoris walked off the course in the Bahamas in November smiling ear to ear after shooting an 81, because he was just so happy to be back competing in a tournament. He's now got a two-shot lead at Bay Hill after a T2 at Genesis. He's so back. https://t.co/opVst9Lgle
