Xander Schauffele is scheduled to return to the Arnold Palmer Invitational as part of a star-studded field. The world No. 2 hasn’t competed on the PGA Tour since the season-opening Sentry in early January or in a TGL event citing a rib injury.

The purse is $20 million with $4 million and 700 FedExCup points going to the winner. Yes, this is one three signature events (Genesis Invitational, Memorial Tournament) that has a cut line. After Round 2, the top 50 players and ties and anyone within 10 shots of the lead will qualify for the final 36 holes.

The API field was released late Friday afternoon and 47 of the top-50 players on the world rankings have committed. The only absences are two players on the LIV Golf League, No. 8 Tyrrell Hatton and No. 11 Bryson DeChambeau, and No. 45 Rasmus Hojgaard, who is not eligible for the event.

Tiger Woods has just committed to playing in next week's TGL match. This likely means that he won't be in the field next weekend for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
