www.nytimes.comHere’s the latest I can provide on Russell Henley’s wins, based on the most recent updates I have access to.
Core update
- Russell Henley captured the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in March 2025, his first PGA Tour win since 2022, moving him into a top-10 world ranking and signaling a strong resurgence in his career. This victory came from a late surge, including a key birdie on the 14th to erase a deficit and take the lead, with Collin Morikawa finishing tied for second. He later suggested the win reinforced his confidence and consistency at the highest level.[1][3][9]
Earlier context (for completeness)
- Henley’s previous PGA Tour win before the 2025 API was the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba in 2017. He then endured a drought of wins before the 2025 Bay Hill breakthrough. He had notable performances in the Presidents Cup and has been discussed as a potential Ryder Cup captain’s pick given his form.[2][4][1]
Other relevant notes
- After his 2025 API win, Henley’s ranking and status on Tour rose, with coverage highlighting his clutch play down the stretch and his confidence about continuing to contend for more titles.[3][9]
