How to read this
- 107 shared events are the individual PGA Tour events both golfers played in StatsNext’s records. Field, course and conditions change from event to event, so a record against one golfer describes the past rather than predicting the next meeting.
- Finishes are as the tour published them; strokes gained is the tour’s published value, compared with the field in the same round.
