What statistics matter most at The American Express?
La Quinta Country Club 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%, 29,622 golfer-weeks, Jan 16, 2017 to Jan 15, 2025).
Strokes gained has not been published for this course (7 stored editions without it), so the course-specific order is uncertain. The weights shown are tour-wide: Approach explains 35% of the spread in total strokes gained across 29,622 golfer-weeks.
Par 3s (4 on the card) played 0.06 under par per hole here vs 0.07 over tour-wide (2 editions).
Par 4s (10 on the card) played 0.13 under par per hole here vs even tour-wide (2 editions).
Par 5s (4 on the card) played 0.65 under par per hole here vs 0.45 under tour-wide (2 editions).

Stored PGA Tour strokes gained through January 15, 2025. Wind and weather data are not available for golf courses.
