What statistics matter most at THE PLAYERS Championship?
TPC Sawgrass (THE PLAYERS Stadium Course) has too little strokes-gained history to rank the categories (0 editions with strokes gained). Tour-wide, putting accounts for the largest share of the spread in total strokes gained (35%, 1,824 golfer-weeks, May 7, 2007 to May 6, 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: Putting explains 35% of the spread in total strokes gained across 1,824 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 May 6, 2015. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.
What mattered here describes past editions; it is not a validated predictor.
