What statistics matter most at THE PLAYERS Championship?

Off the tee carried the most weight at TPC Sawgrass (THE PLAYERS Stadium Course) relative to the tour: 21% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 20% tour-wide (7 editions, 1,017 golfer-weeks, Mar 13, 2017 to Mar 12, 2025), a small difference, so read it as a lean.

Off the tee explains 21% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 20% tour-wide, a small difference (7 editions, 1,017 golfer-weeks).

Approach explains 36% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 35% tour-wide, a small difference (7 editions, 1,017 golfer-weeks).

No category clearly differs from the tour here, so treat the order as a lean, not a rule.
