Quiz: Winners at Bay Hill
The PGA Tour has called Bay Hill home since 1979. One man has won eight times… but can you name the rest?
The PGA Tour returns to Bay Hill Club and Lodge this week, as the Arnold Palmer Invitational returns for a 46th edition at the venue – our quiz is about the winners of the previous 45.
Bay Hill first came to be in 1961, with Dick Wilson being the man to design the Champion and Challenger nine-hole loops.
The great Arnold Palmer took up ownership of the venue in 1974, and five years later, the PGA Tour made its first visit to the venue, for the Bay Hill Citrus Classic.

Matt Coles
Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…
Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.
He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.
Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…
Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
