What statistics matter most at PGA Championship?
Whistling Straits has too little strokes-gained history to rank the categories (0 editions with strokes gained). Tour-wide, approach accounts for the largest share of the spread in total strokes gained (36%, 2,954 golfer-weeks, Aug 13, 2007 to Aug 12, 2015).
No earlier edition with strokes gained is stored for this course, so the course-specific order is uncertain. The weights shown are tour-wide: Approach explains 36% of the spread in total strokes gained across 2,954 golfer-weeks.
Share of the spread: how much of the difference between golfers in total strokes gained each category accounted for in earlier editions on this course, against the tour as a whole; the four categories add to 100%. Stored PGA Tour strokes gained through August 12, 2015. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.
