There are 100 statistics on the PGA Tour.
The best overall is a stroke: putter. This can measure a player’s putting performance by comparing the putting as a benchmark, i.e. the average PGA Tour Professional Golfer makes puttings from a given distance.
The numbers obtained by positive strokes mean that the player has fewer strokes than the benchmark, while the negative number indicates that the player has higher strokes than the benchmark.
So this allows golfers to see their gains or failures relative to the field, rather than simply calculating the total putt, providing more meaningful performance metrics.
Needless to say, these are the best players on the tour, so most of them are in the upper echelon, but there are some surprises.

What did we learn from above?
1) Manchester United’s gaze is the best putter on the Sam Burns Tour, which is the captain’s dream. If Keegan Bradley could find holes that burned can take advantage of his putter, it was a huge asset.
2) CAM Young is the fifth player on the tour, and statistically speaking, putting is better than any European – Rory McIlroy is the seventh best player in Europe. And if Bradley can find holes that can get the driver and putter, he’s long too, so Young could be a serious asset. Of course, this explains their two choices.
3) The Americans have five of the 20 best putts on the tour, and two in Europe. As expected, the rough will be short and they will make it all as much as possible. Yes, Bethpage Black is tough, but that’s not like the tests we’ve seen in the pros here.
4) Justin Thomas has sorted out his launch. In some seasons, this has fallen off the cliff, but he is now shooting with the putter. Scottie Scheffler is also the top 20 putters, and in many other categories we can easily see how to own the Tiger 2.
5) Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa are two players who lost the shot with putt. Morikawa’s iron may be straightforward, but he’s Bethpage’s worst putt.
6) Bryson DeChambeau did not list his matches on Liv Golf, but he is expected to be in the top 20 putts, which is one of his key strengths.
