What this leaderboard ranks

PGA Tour players ranked by stroke-play scoring average on bent grass greens across OTIS's 15-season window. The table lists 50 players, ordered by scoring avg, with every name linking to that player's full profile — fifteen seasons of strokes gained, results and rankings. Stroke-play scoring average in rounds played on bent grass greens. Lower is better. Nothing here is a projection or an estimate: each value is either a published figure or a straightforward average of published round scores, and where a player has no qualifying data they are absent from the board rather than ranked on a blank.

How ties and positions work

The number in the first column is a list position, not a competition rank. Players holding the same value sit next to each other but the numbering continues straight down the list, so two players who are genuinely level may show as different positions. When figures are close, read the value column rather than the ordinal. This is a deliberate simplification: inventing a tie-break the tour does not publish would lay a fabricated ordering over real numbers, and on a board like career wins — where many players share a total — that ordering would look authoritative while meaning nothing.

Coverage and eligibility

Career records such as wins, majors and world ranking come from published records and include achievements from before the fifteen-season statistics window, so a long career is represented in full. Boards computed from round scores — current form and the green-type scoring averages — require a minimum sample before a player qualifies, because an average built from a handful of rounds is noise wearing the costume of a statistic. Players below that threshold are omitted rather than shown with a caveat, which keeps the ordering meaningful all the way down.

Common questions

What does the best scoring on bent greens leaderboard measure?

PGA Tour players ranked by stroke-play scoring average on bent grass greens across OTIS's 15-season window. Stroke-play scoring average in rounds played on bent grass greens. Lower is better.

How are ties handled on this leaderboard?

Players with identical values appear adjacent, but position numbers run straight down the list rather than being shared. Read the value column rather than the position when figures are close — OTIS does not invent a tie-break the tour does not publish.

Why are some players missing from this leaderboard?

Boards computed from round scores require a minimum sample before a player qualifies. Below that threshold there are not enough rounds for the average to mean anything, so the player is left out rather than ranked on a figure that cannot support the position.

Where does this leaderboard's data come from?

From published records and round scores. Nothing is estimated — a player without a qualifying figure is absent rather than assigned one.
