What statistics matter most at Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard?

Putting carried the most weight at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge relative to the tour: 33% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 31% tour-wide (3 editions, 360 golfer-weeks, Mar 15, 2010 to Mar 14, 2018), a small difference, so read it as a lean.

Putting explains 33% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 31% tour-wide, a small difference (3 editions, 360 golfer-weeks).
