Driving Accuracy
Everyone wants to hit more fairways, but the statistics show that 66% driving accuracy is sufficient to be a winner, with a huge range for the year… between 45% and 88%.
Driving Distance
Winners only drive the ball an average of 7 yards farther than those in 70th place.
GIR
Winners hit on average 2.5 greens more per round than the player placing last in the money. The low GIR for a winner in 2009 was 54%.
Putts Per GIR
Here is where winners really start to differentiate themselves, converting 33% of birdie opportunities vs 17% for 70th place players. That´s twice as many birdies (4.5) per round. To win on tour, with very few exceptions, you need to putt better than 1.700 for an entire tournament. You´ll notice that the best ranked putter on tour averages higher than 1.700 for the year; however, most players are capable of putting this well for any individual event. The important thing is to be able to break the 1.700 putting barrier for the week, not for the year.
Scrambling is the other side of the scoring coin with putting. Putting will make you birdies, scrambling will prevent bogeys. Winners scramble at a rate of 70% or better, and when combined with missing just 26% of greens, this means winners average barely more than 1 bogey per round.
