What statistics matter most at The American Express?
Nicklaus Tournament 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 (35%, 21,177 golfer-weeks, Jan 21, 2013 to Jan 20, 2021).
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 35% of the spread in total strokes gained across 21,177 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 January 20, 2021. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.
