OTIS Golf

Leaders

The standing answers to “who leads?” — each list built from the same published statistics as the rest of the site, with every player linking through to their full profile. The season stat boards carry the Tour's published 2026 figures and ranks, with every earlier season a click away on each board. The players index holds everyone, ranked here or not.

What each leaderboard ranks

These are the standing answers to “who leads?”. Career wins and major championships rank players on published career records, so they include victories from before the fifteen-season statistical window. World ranking is the current Official World Golf Ranking order. Current form ranks players by how they are scoring now against their own twelve-month baseline, which is the same figure the rankings page sorts on. The three green-type boards rank stroke-play scoring average on bermuda, bent and poa annua surfaces, where lower is better. The season stat boards restate the Tour's published season statistics, one board per stat and season, rank included. The standing and green-type boards list the top fifty; a season stat board lists every player the Tour published a figure for. Every board links each player to their full profile, so a name on a leaderboard is one click from the record behind it.

How ties and ranking positions work

On the standing and green-type boards the number beside each player is a list position, not a competition rank. Players with identical values — and on boards like career wins or majors there are many — appear adjacent to one another, but the numbering runs straight down the list rather than assigning them a shared position. So two players on eight wins may show as fourteen and fifteen despite being level. Read the value column, not the ordinal, whenever the figures are close. This is a deliberate simplification rather than a computed tie-break: inventing a tie-break rule the tour does not publish would put a fabricated ordering on top of real numbers, which is exactly the kind of quiet fiction this site tries not to introduce. The season stat boards are the exception: there the first column is the Tour's own published rank, so level players share a number — a rank the tour publishes is shown as published, and one it does not is not invented.

Why these boards and not others

Each board exists because it answers a question people actually ask and because the underlying data genuinely supports it. Career wins, majors and world ranking are matters of public record. Current form and the green-type boards are computed from stored round scores, which is why they carry eligibility rules — a scoring average from a handful of rounds is not a scoring average, it is noise, and a leaderboard topped by someone with four measured rounds would be worse than no leaderboard. Boards that would require estimating an unpublished figure are absent by choice. Where a stat exists but the sample is too thin, the player is left out rather than ranked on it. The season stat boards are the simplest case of all: the Tour publishes the figure and the rank, and OTIS restates both, which is why they carry a competition rank the computed boards cannot.

Common questions

Who has the most PGA Tour wins?

The career wins leaderboard ranks players by their total PGA Tour victories as published, including wins from before the fifteen-season statistical window. Each name links to that player's full record.

How are ties handled on these leaderboards?

On the standing and green-type boards, players with identical values appear next to each other, but the position numbers run straight down the list rather than sharing a rank — OTIS does not invent a tie-break the tour does not publish. On the season stat boards the rank shown is the Tour's own, so level players share it.

Which season stat leaderboards are there?

One board per published Tour season statistic: the six strokes-gained categories, driving distance and accuracy, greens in regulation, scrambling, putts per round, scoring average, birdies per round, and par-3, par-4 and par-5 scoring. Each lives at its own address for the current season, with every earlier season a click away.

How is the current form leaderboard calculated?

By comparing each player's recent scoring with their own trailing twelve-month baseline. Players need at least five stroke-play events in that year to qualify, so the list is never topped by someone with a handful of rounds.

Which players score best on bermuda, bent or poa greens?

There is a separate leaderboard for each surface, ranking stroke-play scoring average on that green type, lowest first. The same figures are sortable columns on the players index.
