Putting matters more at Detroit Golf Club than at a typical PGA Tour stop: it accounted for 35% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 31% tour-wide (7 editions, 960 golfer-weeks, Jul 30, 2018 to Jul 29, 2026), a clear difference.

Putting explains 35% of the spread in total strokes gained here vs 31% tour-wide, a clear difference (7 editions, 960 golfer-weeks).
