Tiger Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard with a 13-under-par total to claim his eighth win at Bay Hill and third win of the season. Woods carded a final-round 2-under-par 70 for a two-shot victory, which moved him to No. 1 in the world for the first time since October 2010.
Bay Hill hosted the AJGA HP Boys Championship from 2004-2008. In 2006, Rickie Fowler won with a 10-under-par total, and as a professional seven years later, he returned to Bay Hill and played in the final group with Woods en route to an 8-under-par total and a third-place finish.
Woods played in 13 and won eight AJGA tournaments from 1991-1993, which ties him for second most AJGA career wins and earned him the title of Rolex Junior Player of the Year in 1991-1992. Woods appeared in the Wyndham Cup from 1990-1993 as a member of the West Team and posted a record of 11-3-2, the best of any boy in the tournaments history.
Before beginning his professional career, Woods spent two years at Stanford, where he was a two-time first-team All-American. In 1996 he was the NCAA individual champion, the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year, the Pac-10 conference champion and Pac-10 Player of the Year.
