The Core and More: PGA DFS Notes for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Preparing for back-to-back signature events in Florida, the stars are on full display this week at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

This water-heavy track is known to be a proper test that reward the best ball-strikers so that is what we’ll focus on when searching for top DFS targets at this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Core Targets

Rory McIlroy

Scottie and Rory are Thing 1 and Thing 2 this week at the top of the board. They rank first and second in weighted baseline performance and also rank 1-2 in course monster score at Bay Hill. They have combined to record top 15s in 12 of their 14 trips to Arnie’s House. With that in mind, I do want to spend up to grab at least one of them and Rory becomes the easy choice for me when I see he’s priced $1,200 lower and also expected to receive lower rostership.
