Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard

Monday Mar 10 – Sunday Mar 16, 2008

Defending champion Vijay Singh will have to defend his 2007 Arnold Palmer Invitational title against Tiger Woods this week. From the PGATour.com:

ORLANDO — Tiger Woods has committed to play in next week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.The tournament will be played March 10-16 at the Bay Hill Club.

Woods has twice won a PGA TOUR event four times in a row, a feat that had only been done twice previously in American golf and three times in the game’s history. But before he won his fourth straight Buick Invitational in January, Woods first pulled off the feat at the Arnold Palmer Invitational with his run from 2000 through 2003.

Woods brings another streak to Bay Hill. Dating back to the 2007 BMW Championship, Woods has won his last four PGA TOUR starts and his last five overall, including a win at the Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour.
