Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.

Randall Woolridge Professor of Finance Faculty Reader *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i ABSTRACT The game of golf has changed significantly over the past decade due to advances in equipment technology and changes in course design. I study which specific golf skills are the best determinants of earnings given these changes. I review how technology has improved aspects of the game and how major golf courses are being redesigned as a result in order to set the stage for my empirical analysis. The study covers the top 100 earners on the PGA Tour from the period 2003-2013. My results provide some evidence that iron play and putting are good determinants of success on the PGA Tour and that driving ability is largely irrelevant. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………………. i Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………. ii List of Figures……………………………………………………………………………………. iii Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Chapter 1 - Literature Review…………………………………………………………………..… 4 Chapter 2 - The Evolving Golf Bag……………………………………………………................. 9 Chapter 3 - Changes in Course Architecture……………………………………………………..17
