What is SG: Approach?

Strokes gained on shots into the green, including par-3 tee shots but not short-game shots. The stat most predictive of sustained elite play.

Strokes Gained needs ShotLink-measured rounds; opposite-field and some international events are excluded, and a season shows no SG until a player logs enough measured rounds.

OTIS tracks this stat across 15 PGA Tour seasons — see it for every player, or read how the numbers are sourced in the methodology.
