Josh Culp advised backing Tony Finau for a top-20 finish at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. According to Culp, Finau appears to have put his injury concerns behind him with consecutive top-15 finishes leading into this event. While Finau’s historical results at Bay Hill haven’t topped T24, Culp noted Finau’s improved comfort on bermudagrass greens since moving to Arizona and his strong long-iron profile as reasons to expect better performance this week.

Joe Idone recommended betting on Tony Finau at 50 to 1 odds for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, emphasizing Finau's strong performance in tougher scoring conditions. Finau has become a good chipper, ranking first around the green over the last 24 rounds. He is also second in proximity from over 200 yards, which is significant on long courses like Bay Hill. Joe prefers Finau when the winning score is around minus 10, as he excels under challenging conditions. While acknowledging that Finau hasn't always had great results in Florida, Joe believes Finau offers sneaky value at his odds and should be in the 40 to 1 range alongside players like Sungjae Im.

Pat Mayo suggested that despite missing the cut last week, Tony Finau will be a popular pick at the Farmers Insurance Open because of his strong course history.
