In 1954 Dr Phillips sold his holdings to Granada Groves, a subsidiary of the Minute Maid Corporation, and retained only the raw land. Tom Barnes, a native of Minnesota, who had always wanted to build a championship golf course, took an option out on the land with his partner, Tom Dore, a Michigan businessman who surveyed the land and saw an immediate vision of what this land could become.
They broke ground on the golf course in 1960 and christened the area “Bay Hill” The original golf course architect was Dick Wilson, Bay Hill was the first golf course planted with Tifway (Tifton 419) Bermuda grass. Wildlife still inhabited the land including a family of bobcats that resided around the 17th green. In 1965,
Walt Disney announced the purchase of over 27,000 acres of land nearby, where the Walt Disney World Resort would soon emerge.
The same year, Arnold Palmer played in and won a charity exhibition tournament at Bay Hill, Arnold fell in love with the course and the area, so much so he wanted to own it.
In the summer of 2009 Arnold decided to redesign the course with his design company. He redesigned all 18 greens, reworked of all the bunkering and made major changes to four holes. The yardage went up from 7,103 to 7,196.

Pushing him hard with a win already under his belt is Ludvig Εberg 16/1 with BetFred and to be honest it was only illness that prevented him from being in the thick of it at the Farmer Insurance Open after opening up with a 63
It is hard to believe but Patrick Cantlay 28/1 with BetFred teed it up for the first time in this event in 2023 when he made the Top 5 opening and closing with rounds of 68, he followed that up last year with a Top 40 finish
Each-way tips:
Unlike Patrick, since playing on the PGA Tour full time Will Zalatroris 50/1 with SpreadEx has played in this event every year and has two Top 10 finishes from his four starts including a Top 5 finish
The year started really well for US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley 55/1 with UniBet with three Top 15 finishes from his first three starts. Keegan has a runner-up and four Top 15 finishes, three of which have been Top 10s including a Top 5 finish from his thirteen starts at Bay Hill
Outside tip:
Two fourth-place finishes in his last two starts should see Ben Griffin 80/1 with PaddyPower arrive at Bay Hill in confident mood. Ben has only teed it up in this event once before, where he made the Top 15 and I think these could turn out to be very good odds for the lad from North Carolina
