Whats in the Bag
Photos from the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational
GolfWRX is on-site this week at Bay Hill Club and Lodge for the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational. While Mr. Palmer is no longer with us, his presence continues to loom large at his Florida home.
In the GolfWRX forums (if you’re not a member, register here), we’re assembling our usual collection of WITB photos, general galleries, and of course, gear inspired by the one and only King. So far, we’ve already taken a closer look at Mr. Palmer’s bag from the Bay Hill range and gathered several WITB galleries.
We’ll continue to add to the photos below as more flow in from Orlando, Florida, so check back throughout the week! (thanks to forum member @bvmagic for the assist!)
