For Orlando Florida locals, The Arnold Palmer Invitational is always a favorite. Being touted as one of the Orlando area's best sporting events, March 23rd - 29th can't come quick enough for the fans to walk the 7,267 yard Bay Hill Country Club course. (www.arnoldpalmerinvitational.com). the actual dates of play for this PGA golf event are Thursday, March 26th through Sunday, March 29th. With a large purse for the event totaling $5.8 million with $1.04 million to the winning player, it's a big draw for fans as well as PGA Tour Players.

You can view all the tournament live lines and odds at Sportbet. The prices to the event are very reasonable with daily passes priced at $45 and a weekly pass is only $95, it's a must attend event for anyone in the Orlando area.

The best part of this event is that the proceeds for the event benefit the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies. The living legend, Arnold Palmer, thru his philanthropy, will leave a lasting legacy for the local institutions in the Central Florida area.

The return of Tiger Woods has already created a lot of buzz for the tournament. Tiger is an area Orlando resident and a huge fan favorite. Our sources indicate that he will play as a tune-up for the Master's which starts two weeks after Bay Hill. Tiger has won the Bay Hill Arnold Palmer Invitation four times; this would be his fifth victory. Other Floridians who will most likely compete include Zach Johnson, formerly a native of Iowa, but now maintains a home in the area. Zach is currently in the Top 5 for the race for the FedEx Cup points in 2009.

Most Orlando area vacation home rentals in Kissimmee and Davenport are about 25 minutes from the Bay Hill Course. One can park at Universal and ride the bus over to the event or purchase an on-site parking pass for the course. Either way, considering the normally beautiful weather and the entertaining golf, this is one of the area's best events.
