Russell Henley Wins 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Russell Henley staged a remarkable comeback to win the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, overcoming a three-shot deficit to secure his fifth PGA Tour victory. After trailing Collin Morikawa, Henley made key plays, including an eagle on the par-5 16th, that ultimately led him to finish at 11-under par. This victory earned him $4 million and 700 FedEx Cup points, moving him to second place in the standings. With this win, Henley not only secured his exemption into major events like the Masters and PGA Championship but also solidified his status on the PGA Tour through the 2027 season. Morikawa’s late struggles, including a crucial bogey on the 14th, contributed to his inability to close out the tournament. Henley's performance reflects his improved long game and consistency, as he previously had mixed results at Bay Hill.
