What statistics matter most at The RSM Classic?
Sea Island Golf Club (Seaside Course) has too little strokes-gained history to rank the categories (1 edition with strokes gained). Tour-wide, approach accounts for the largest share of the spread in total strokes gained (35%, 28,732 golfer-weeks, Nov 16, 2015 to Nov 15, 2023).
Only 1 edition, 69 golfer-weeks with strokes gained here, so the course-specific order is uncertain. The weights shown are tour-wide: Approach explains 35% of the spread in total strokes gained across 28,732 golfer-weeks.
| Category | Share of the spread here | Tour-wide | Stands out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | 31% | 35% | No |
| Putting | 50% | 30% | No |
| Off the tee | 10% | 19% | No |
| Around the green | 9% | 15% | No |
Par 3s (4 on the card) played 0.01 under par per hole here vs 0.10 over tour-wide (1 edition).
Par 4s (12 on the card) played 0.02 under par per hole here vs even tour-wide (1 edition).
Par 5s (2 on the card) played 0.40 under par per hole here vs 0.44 under tour-wide (1 edition).
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, 2023. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.
