Event and Course Notes

Much like last week, this is one of the easiest courses on the PGA TOUR
Winning score has been at least -19 in each of the last 5 years
Fairways and greens are both easy to hit on average
The name of the game is total driving, good iron play, and a hot putter
Not the most predictive course history, but we’ve seen plenty of multi-time winners
Lot of wedges this week; 45% of approach shots are less than 150 yards
No strong course fit; bombers and plodders can contend here
While making birdies is a necessity, avoiding bogeys is just as important

What to Look For

Strokes Gained: Approach
Birdie or Better %
Bogey avoidance
Total driving
Strokes Gained: Putting (emphasis on bentgrass)
Strokes Gained on easy and very easy courses (Rabbit Hole filter)
