Before I discuss my favorite tournament matchup bet for the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational let’s take a look at the current leaders in scoring average on the PGA Tour that are in this week’s field.

Now that we have determined who the top five golfers with regard to scoring average are on the PGA Tour (in this week’s field) let’s shift our attention to my favorite tournament matchup bet for this week’s 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Viktor Hovland -110 over Jason Day
Viktor Hovland has accumulated two top 20 finishes in his last three tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a 13th place result at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this month.
In relation to this week’s current listed 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational field, in the last eight rounds played on the PGA Tour, Viktor Hovland ranks tenth in strokes gained ball striking and third in strokes gained off the tee.
I also like the fact that Viktor Hovland has played well at this week’s PGA Tour event in the past. More specifically, Hovland finished second at the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
