3 burning questions heading into the 2022 Arnold Palmer invitational: Will Rory McIlroy win?

What to watch for this week.

The PGA Tour is making its stop this week at Bay Hill for the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational, and there’s one golfer everyone’s talking about as the favorite.

No, it’s not Bryson DeChambeau, who won the tournament last year. He’s out due to injury, so we won’t see him taking absurd lines with monster drives on No. 6 again.

It’s Rory McIlroy, whose ball-striking game won at Bay Hill in 2018. Can he pull it off again? That’s one of our three burning questions for the tournament that’s set to begin on Thursday.
