Starting Today MasterCard Cardholders Will Gain Early, Exclusive Access to Tickets and Upgraded Fan Experiences for the 2027 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Tickets and upgraded experiences for Central Florida’s premier sporting event, the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, to be held March 18–21, 2027, at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge, are now on sale exclusively for Mastercard cardholders. The exclusive presale begins today, a date that would have marked Arnold Palmer’s 97th birthday.  Tickets can be purchased at arnoldpalmerinvitational.com.

 

Tickets for the general public will be available beginning in one week, on Thursday, Sept. 17. General admission tickets begin at $40 for Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds, $85 for Thursday, and $99 for Friday-Sunday (before fees, prices are subject to change).

 

Mastercard cardholders can save 10 percent on all ticket purchases (excluding tax) when they purchase with their Mastercard. Prices are subject to change.

“We strive to create unique experiences at all price points,” said Drew Donovan, Tournament Director for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “From our special events to our premium experiences, there is something for everyone. Spectators can experience clubhouse access with The Orange Grove, front-row viewing at the Michelob Ultra Fan Deck or premier fun at The Lakehouse.  Everyone can come to Bay Hill, enjoy Orlando’s signature event and see the best golfers in the world take on Bay Hill.” 

 

The Orange Grove also returns with enhanced offerings, including access to the storied Bay Hill Clubhouse. This all-inclusive experience includes tournament grounds admission, daily Clubhouse access, entry to Arnie’s at the Orange Grove, all-inclusive food and beverage service, private greenside seating on No. 9 and parking with the four-day Tournament Experience package.

 

Fresh off a full space rebrand, The Michelob Ultra Fan Deck is back and better than ever. Located between the 15th green and 16th tee, fans can beat the heat in style with upgraded concessions, a massive live video wall, and front-row views of players on No. 16. Fan Deck tickets, including grounds admission, start at $150.

 

Back by overwhelming demand after back-to-back sellouts, The Lakehouse returns for 2027. Following an even faster sellout in 2026 than its inaugural year, it remains one of the tournament’s premier hotspots.

 

Fans can look forward to the return of Wine & Dine on 9, Birdies & BBQ, and Throwback Thursday presented by Corkcicle. After all three events sold out in record time last year, therefore fans are encouraged to purchase early. Full details, dates, and pricing will be released soon.

 

Akshay Bhatia will return to defend his title after a career-best year. Bhatia will compete for a share of the elevated $20M purse and will be joined by some of the game’s greatest players, who will be announced closer to the tournament.

 

The field for the 2027 Arnold Palmer Invitational will once again feature many of the game’s top players competing for one of the PGA TOUR’s most prestigious titles. Player commitments and additional tournament details will be announced closer to tournament week.

 

The 2027 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, taking place March 18–21, 2027, is Central Florida’s signature sporting event and a highlight of the PGA TOUR, attracting the greatest names in golf to Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

All proceeds from the tournament benefit the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation, supporting efforts on behalf of children’s health, character development and nature-focused wellness. The tournament celebrates the life and legacy of Arnold Palmer and honors his profound impact on the game of golf, both internationally and within the Central Florida community.
