About OTIS.
What OTIS Golf covers
OTIS is a free reference for PGA Tour statistics covering the fifteen most recent seasons. That means a profile for every player in that window — 1,489 of them, with their strokes-gained splits, results, rankings and career record; a page for every course the tour has visited, 154 venues in all, with specs, hosting history, past winners and hole-by-hole scoring; and the full final leaderboard of every event played. On top of that sit the things you can only get by holding all of it at once: who is in form right now, which players suit this week's course, and standing leaderboards for wins, majors and world ranking. Browsing the data requires no account; a free account raises the export limit and opens the tools built on top of it.
Why it exists
The numbers are public, but they are scattered and hard to actually read. OTIS exists to make them legible: one place where you can look up a player or a course and see the stats laid out plainly, with every figure traceable to a published tour stat and the gaps left visible instead of filled in. When the data doesn't exist, the page says so rather than inventing a number.
Who builds it
OTIS is an independent project, built and maintained solo. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the PGA Tour. It restates published statistics and presents them honestly. The one thing on the site that isn't a restated figure — the course-fit model — is clearly labelled as a model and explained in the methodology. Software development tools that use AI assist in building and maintaining the site; how that is used, and where it deliberately is not, is set out on the privacy page.
Where the numbers come from
Every figure on this site is restated from published statistics. Nothing is estimated, interpolated or reconstructed. Where no value was ever published, the page shows a gap rather than filling it in, which is why some older seasons look sparser than recent ones: they genuinely are. There is exactly one place where OTIS combines published numbers into a figure of its own, the course-fit model, and it is labelled as a model everywhere it appears. That distinction — published fact here, disclosed model there, never the two blurred together — is the whole editorial policy, and it is written out in full on the methodology page.
What strokes gained measures
Strokes gained answers a question raw statistics cannot: how many shots did a player gain or lose against the field, from a given position, on a given type of shot. A player who hits a green from 180 yards has done something measurably different from a player who hits the same green from 90, and strokes gained is what separates the two. It splits into off the tee, approach, around the green and putting, which is why it can say not just that a player is playing well but where the strokes are actually coming from. It requires shot-tracked rounds, so it exists for tour events and not for every round a professional plays — another reason some profiles carry gaps. Every term is defined in the glossary.
What you can download
Everything readable here is exportable. The custom data builder lets you pick players, pick seasons and pick columns, then take the result away as a CSV — season aggregates, individual event results, or round-by-round scores. Browsing and previewing an export are always free and need no account; a free account raises the limit on how many rows you can export at once. The point is that the data should be usable somewhere other than here: a stats site that will only show you its numbers, and never hand them over, is a walled garden with extra steps.
