I know all the biggest prize money is dumped into the PGA tour cause thats where the best golfers play (as far as toughest to beat). But what is the best tour statistically? PGA, PGA Europe, Web.com, Champions tour or LPGA? Not sure if a thread like this is out there, I didn't see one if it is. I ask because a lot of my friends that watch golf only like the PGA tour but I watch 3, the PGA LPGA and PGA Europe. I see so many awesome shots on all 3 tours but I notice a lot of drives hit the ruff in the PGA. So I ask what is the best tour statistically?

I don't really understand what you're asking.  Whose tournaments have the lowest scores?  Highest FIRs?

Its probably an impossible thing to accurately determine since course ratings would come into play.  The LPGA probably plays courses 1000 yards shorter than the PGA.

Not very concerned with actual scores but yes FIR, GIR, scrambling, stats like that. I don't think its impossible to find out. I'm sure theres somewhere that has these stats and I know all the tours play different courses, I'm not concerned about that. I'm just wondering which tour has the best stats. and eventually they will play a lot of the same courses or courses of the same caliber. Yes the LPGA is shorter then the PGA as far as yardage goes but this thread is strictly statistical.

In one sentence, @BrownCoast , please tell us the point of this thread? What are you trying to ask?

"What is the best tour statistically?" doesn't really mean anything.

I'm not sure how to simplify this any more then it already has been. What tour has the best stats, i.e. FIR, GIR and so on and so on.

What exactly do you not understand? the point of the thread was to see what tour has the best stats! :blink:

I saw those individual stats, Thank you. Is there anything that shows the average for the tour stats? I can't seem to find that. Not sure if they carry that on their sites or if it under a different heading.

I don't know about average but you could probably check out the median from those links.

Copy it into an Excel spreadsheet and use the "Average" function.

Seriously man. Just do this work yourself.

Guess what? PGA Tour is gonna be tops in almost all of the ones that matter, as the best players play on that tour.

PGA Tour, AKA the tour where the best players play.

I see so many awesome shots on all 3 tours but I notice a lot of drives hit the ruff in the PGA. So I ask what is the best tour statistically?

Hitting in the rough is to be expected when the players are hitting it 300+ yards. For the most part it's not like they are that far offline when they do miss the fairway. Go to a tour event, you might be surprised at how "straight" their misses are.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
