Event and Course Notes

We have another Signature Event that doesn’t feature a cut
Barring a withdrawal, all golfers are guaranteed to play four rounds
Championship-level golf course (has hosted PGA Championship & Presidents Cup)
Classical course that is very long and very difficult
Average driving distance in 2023 was 304 yards, so it’s bombs away off the tee
Very few wedge shots hit here each year, most approach shots are from 150+ yards
Greens are fairly difficult to hit on average, bump up scrambling and bogey avoidance
A solid all-around game is needed to win here

What to Look For

Strokes gained off the tee
Strokes gained approach
Driving distance
Bogey avoidance
Strokes gained around the green
Strokes gained putting
Experience in strong fields
Experience on difficult courses
