LOVE EAGER FOR RETURN TO BAY HILLFebruary 22, 2012 - Illness kept Ryder Cup captain from competing in 2011 event

Davis Love III has long been a fan of the Championship Course at Bay Hill, having competed at Arnold Palmer's prized layout since his days in junior golf. He's seldom missed a spring visit since he became a professional, though last year's event was an exception, as an illness prevented him from competing.

Love intends to be back for the 34th Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard scheduled for March 19-25 at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge. He can't wait, in fact.

LAIRD READY TO DEFEND HARD-WON TITLEFebruary 15, 2012 - Scotsman was first European to win at Bay Hill

Martin Laird enjoyed two firsts on a late Sunday afternoon last March when he walked off the final green at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge. He got to shake the hand of Arnold Palmer, and he successfully converted a 54-hole lead into a victory, which allowed him to enjoy the aforementioned handshake.

"You know, I had never met Arnold until I walked off that last green and shook his hand. That's an awesome way to meet someone, especially someone who is such a legend in the game," says Laird, recalling those moments immediately after his hard-fought win in the 2011 Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard. "It was exciting to walk up that hill and tell him what a thrill it was to win his tournament.

"Before I was ever on the PGA TOUR I remember watching on TV and seeing guys walk off the green and shake hands with Arnold, and I thought that was so incredibly cool. Besides winning majors, I feel like an event where Arnold Palmer is the host is about as big a tournament as you can win."

For Laird, who finished at eight-under-par 280, it was about as tough a way as there is to win a tournament, too.

HOSTING PGA TOUR EVENT NEVER GETS OLD FOR GOLF LEGEND ARNOLD PALMERFebruary 8, 2012

Having won seven major championships and competed in more than 150 in his illustrious career, Arnold Palmer certainly knows enough about what goes into making a golf tournament special. Palmer would never be so bold as to claim that the tournament that bears his name, the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard, is a major championship. But that doesn't mean that the golf legend known as "The King" doesn't strive to make his annual PGA TOUR event at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge as good as it can be, with a world-class golf course to challenge the game's best players and as many nice touches as possible to make both competitors and fans feel welcome.
