  • Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR
    Vol. 42, No. 2, March–April 2012, pp. 146–165 ISSN 0092-2102 (print) ISSN 1526-551X (online) http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/inte.1120.0626 © 2012 INFORMS Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR Mark Broadie Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, [email protected] The game of golf involves many different types of shots, including long tee shots (typically hit with a driver), approach shots to greens, shots from the sand, and putts on the green. Although determining the winner of a golf tournament by counting strokes is easy, assessing which factors contributed most to the victory is not. In this paper, we apply an analysis based on strokes gained, introduced previously, to assess professional golfer performance in different parts of the game [Broadie M (2008) Assessing golfer performance using Golfmetrics. Crews D, Lutz R, eds. Sci. Golf V: Proc. World Sci. Congress Golf (Energy in Motion, Inc., Mesa, AZ), 253–262]. Strokes gained is a simple and intuitive measure of each shot’s contribution to a golfer’s score and was imple- mented by the PGA TOUR to measure putting in May 2011. We apply strokes gained analysis to extensive ShotLink™ data to rank PGA TOUR golfers in various skill categories and to quantify the factors that differen- tiate these golfers. Long-game shots (those starting over 100 yards from the hole) explain about two-thirds of the score variability among PGA TOUR golfers. Tiger Woods is ranked first in total strokes gained, and at or near the top of PGA TOUR golfers in each of the three main categories: long game, short game, and putting.

  • PGA of AMERICA HALL of FAME - Class of 2019
    PGA OF AMERICA HALL OF FAME - Class of 2019 DAVIS LOVE III, PGA Davis Love III was born into a golfing family in Charlotte, North Carolina, the son of legendary PGA Teaching Professional Davis Love Jr., and mother, Helen, an accomplished amateur golfer. By age 10, Davis knew that he wanted to be a professional golfer. He followed an impressive junior career to earn a scholarship to the University of North Carolina where he was a three-time All-American golfer and the 1984 Atlantic Coast Conference Champion. In 1985, Love competed on the U.S. Walker Cup team before turning professional later that year. He won his first PGA TOUR event in 1987 at the MCI Heritage Golf Classic at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Love would go on to win this event five times during his career. His 21 PGA TOUR victories include the 1997 PGA Championship and a pair of win at THE PLAYERS Championship in 1992 and 2003. Just as Love was about to seal his PGA Championship victory with a birdie on the 18th hole at Winged Foot Golf Club, a rainbow appeared overhead. The setting and the emotional final moments connected Love’s victory to his father, a member of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame who perished in a 1988 airplane accident. Love became one of nine PGA Champions whose father was a PGA of America member. In 1994, Love launched Love Golf Design, a company with his brother, Mark. In 2010, he began hosting the RSM McGladrey Classic.

In Chapter 10, Pelz focuses on the “improvement pro- cess”; how to improve your putting. Here are the five steps: 1. Focus on the part of your game that’s causing the problem. “You can practice, develop, and improve the wrong aspect of your putting (that is, an aspect that is not causing your problem) for the rest of your life and you’ll never putt any better.” 2. Measure your misses to determine if there is apat- tern to them (left, right, long or short). 3. Analyze your misses to find your prescription for improvement.
