What statistics matter most at Sony Open in Hawaii?
Putting carried the most weight at Waialae Country Club relative to the tour: 34% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 31% tour-wide (8 editions, 1,138 golfer-weeks, Jan 12, 2015 to Jan 11, 2023), a small difference, so read it as a lean.
Putting explains 34% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 31% tour-wide, a small difference (8 editions, 1,138 golfer-weeks).
Approach explains 36% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 35% tour-wide, a small difference (8 editions, 1,138 golfer-weeks).
Around the green matters less than usual: 11% here vs 15% tour-wide.
No category clearly differs from the tour here, so treat the order as a lean, not a rule.
| Category | Share of the spread here | Tour-wide | Stands out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Putting | 34% | 31% | No |
| Approach | 36% | 35% | No |
| Off the tee | 19% | 19% | No |
| Around the green | 11% | 15% | No |
Scrambling: rank correlation with the 72-hole score 0.34 here vs 0.45 tour-wide (5 editions, 351 golfers who played every round); a clear difference.
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 11, 2023. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.
What mattered here describes past editions; it is not a validated predictor.
