Notable groupings for Arnold Palmer Invitational Round 1
Nobody questions whether Rory McIlroy is one of the best golfers in the world right now. The four-time major champion’s position in the Official World Golf Ranking (No. 8) proves that. But despite his consistent elite play, Rory hasn’t won a tournament since the 2019 WGC-HSBC Champions. He’ll try to best the many close calls he’s had since then this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
