It certainly isn't based on me. My putting is about half as good, (my percentages for 5 feet are similar the the PGA's percentages for 10 feet.)

From the link: [quote]These numbers, which are based off the 2010 season, are used as the baseline probability to calculate the TOUR's new statistic, Strokes Gained - Putting, that determines the best putters on TOUR.[/quote] So I would assume this is an accumulation of ShotLink data.

[dennyjones]

Have these numbers been updated for 2016?

[iacas]

They were updated last year. 8 feet is the 50% point.

Maybe someone can find a good chart. If not I'll try to remember to add it tomorrow.

I played with someone over the weekend that told me he needed to improve his 10 footers. He said he's not expecting to be PGA Tour level, but he wants to be closer to 50% because right now he's more like 40% and he needs to be better if he wants to make more birdies.

I asked him what he thought the make % from 10' is on tour and he said 70%. He didn't believe me when I told him tour players average 50% from 8'.

This guy is going to spend extra time working on his putting when his putting isn't the skill that's holding him back, all because of misinformation. And no, I don't believe he's 40% from 10', but that's not really the point. He's not going to get a good return on that investment.

I asked my uncle once, "At what distance do you think PGA Tour players make or miss 50% of their putts?". He said, 15 FT or so. I told him it was 8-9'.

I told the same thing to 20´s hadicapers at my club when they get really ungry after they miss a 10 footer.
