What statistics matter most at TOUR Championship?

East Lake Golf 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%, 6,975 golfer-weeks, Sep 22, 2008 to Sep 21, 2016).

Only 1 edition, 29 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 6,975 golfer-weeks.
