ORLANDO, Fla. –– The star-studded field at the Arnold Palmer Invitational includes Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose. What those five top-10 ranked players have in common is they all hail from various corners of the globe. Just not from the U.S. Which begs the question: where are all the best American golfers?
Something seems amiss when the top 5 American golfers all skip the tournament bearing the name of the individual most responsible for the PGA Tour being the success it is today.
No Jordan Spieth, no Rickie Fowler, no Dustin Johnson and no Patrick Reed.
