What statistics matter most at The RSM Classic?

Sea Island Golf Club (Plantation Course) 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%, 10,940 golfer-weeks, Nov 16, 2009 to Nov 15, 2017).

Strokes gained has not been published for this course (2 stored editions without it), so the course-specific order is uncertain. The weights shown are tour-wide: Approach explains 36% of the spread in total strokes gained across 10,940 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 November 15, 2017. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.

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