What statistics matter most at Northern Trust Open?

The Riviera Country Club has too little strokes-gained history to rank the categories (1 edition with strokes gained). Tour-wide, approach accounts for the largest share of the spread in total strokes gained (36%, 4,205 golfer-weeks, Feb 18, 2008 to Feb 17, 2016).

Only 1 edition, 144 golfer-weeks with strokes gained here, so the course-specific order is uncertain. The weights shown are tour-wide: Approach explains 36% of the spread in total strokes gained across 4,205 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 February 17, 2016. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.

What mattered here describes past editions; it is not a validated predictor.
