Read tweet below and looked it up. Wow. 55th is .316. He's also listed as 5'9" 160. I thought he was built more like skinny Tiger.

Impressive. I would want to see what the differential typically is in all tournaments, and also in majors. Obviously the winners of any tournament will have the best SG numbers for that tournament. But what is the usual amount the winner exceeds others? And is it typically in approach shots? Or is it more often in driving? Or putting? etc.

How much time do you have for an answer? :-)  

I don't remember the numbers offhand, but I'd be happy to look it up for you in Every Shot Counts.  Of course, there's been a lot more data created since that book was written.  One of my favorite information sections in that book was about players who won because of their putting (it was a very small list) and those who won despite their putting (I think Vijay Singh shows up on that list a few times).  

If that sort of thing is interesting to you, especially if you're a math nerd like me, you'd probably really enjoy Broadie's book.

I think I saw Morikawa's average SG putting is like -0.3 something. So he has to have an average by PGA Tour standards putting day in order to not lose stokes putting.

I read somewhere that his approach or iron numbers were the best since Tiger was playing well.

Ogio Grom | Callaway X Hot Pro | Callaway X-Utility 3i | Mizuno MX-700 23º | Titleist Vokey SM 52.08, 58.12 | Mizuno MX-700 15º | Titleist 910 D2 9,5º | Scotty Cameron Newport 2 | Titleist Pro V1x and Taylormade Penta | Leupold GX-1

These images kinda answer it a little, these might have been the charts you were referring to @Shindig ?

Yep, that's what I was thinking of.

Interestingly, I hadn't noticed this before:  Vijay Singh had two rounds near the top of putting-contribution-to-victory and two in the "won despite his putting" category, all in the same few year period.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
