What statistics matter most at The Open Championship?

Carnoustie GC 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%, 13,239 golfer-weeks, Jul 19, 2010 to Jul 18, 2018).

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 13,239 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 July 18, 2018. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.

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