Quotes
Sam Saunders, grandson of Arnold Palmer, confirmed he is a member of the sponsor exemption committee and that Rickier Fowler, Jordan Spieth, and Gary Woodland wouldn’t be receiving exemptions for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
“What our team did was try to pick players that, you know, it's about protecting and growing the game of golf as a whole. And doing what's the most balanced and fair process. Honestly, I think there was a lot of thought put into each and every player that was selected,” he said.
“At the end of the day, it's who's getting the ball in the hole the fastest that are the ones who get the opportunities. You can't make everybody happy with exemptions. So you try to just do it as fair and balanced as possible.”
