Russell Henley Wins 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Russell Henley emerged victorious at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, securing his fifth PGA Tour win by edging out Collin Morikawa by one stroke. Despite trailing Morikawa by three shots with five holes remaining, Henley's pivotal chip-in eagle on the par-5 16th hole provided him the lead he would not relinquish. This victory marks Henley's first in nearly 854 days, elevating him to No. 7 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Known for his accuracy rather than power, Henley's win at Bay Hill defies the modern trend of power-dominated golfers. Although he remains humble, Henley's recent performances, including 16 top-10 finishes over the past three years, solidify his status among the world's elite golfers. The win also brought Henley a significant $4 million prize from the $20 million purse.
