World ranking
Scoring trend
Rolling 20-round scoring average, one point per event, from raw round scores. Rising = improving.
Strokes gained by season
Season-level SG per category — sustainable gains show up in Approach; hot putting seasons tend to regress. Each season is built from its measured rounds (see the “Meas. Rds” column above); unmeasured seasons are left out, not zeroed.
Scoring by green type
Average round score on each putting surface — lower is better, a grouped tendency across every measured round rather than one venue. Raw scoring, not Strokes Gained: the tour doesn't publish SG by surface, so this can't be split without guessing.
44rounds at courses with an unlisted green type aren't included, rather than guessed into a bucket.
Skill profile
Five axes, 0–100: all-drives distance, good-drive %, 175–200yd proximity, scrambling, and SG: Putting.
