Around the green explains 15% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 15% tour-wide, a small difference (8 editions, 966 golfer-weeks).

Off the tee explains 19% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 19% tour-wide, a small difference (8 editions, 966 golfer-weeks).

Around the green	15%	15%	No
Off the tee	19%	19%	No
