About these statistics
- Proximity is the average distance to the hole after an approach from the fairway in each yardage band, in feet, as the PGA Tour publishes it; lower is better.
- Going for the green is the share of chances (par 5s and reachable par 4s) where the golfer went for the green in two or one, then how often the green was hit and how often it led to a birdie or better.
- Every figure is a season value for the 2026 season as the PGA Tour publishes it, over that season's measured shots; golfers with a small sample on a list are left out.
- Strokes gained by approach distance is not published to StatsNext and is not shown.
This page shows results and statistics only. It contains no sportsbook prices or betting lines. Current markets and StatsNext research are in the app.
