How to read them: season statistics are the PGA Tour’s published values and ranks for the 2026 season (per-round averages, per-shot averages or rates as the tour defines them; the season as the provider labels it, and until 2024 a season started the autumn before). Recent form is StatsNext’s per-round average of the published round strokes gained over each golfer’s last 8 and 24 measured rounds, which can cross seasons; majors publish no round strokes gained, so their rounds are not measured. Tournament pages show each week’s total strokes gained, not per round. Golfers with a small sample on a list are left out. Leaderboards list the top of each statistic, not the whole field.
