Drive for show put for dough.

While this might sound good and even seem reasonable, it's actually, statistically, false.

On virtually every course on the pga tour driving distance is the most predictive metric of success, while putting accuracy not so much.

There might be a better way to phrase that by saying that it contributes the most.

From a viewer standpoint, we can see how tourneys can be lost on the putting green and we often see how they are won there. In reality though, as our eyes can be deceiving, it was the driving distance and approach accuracy from a strokes gained perspective that wins the tournament.

Hope that makes sense.

I would also add that when it comes to driving distance mattering so much it's probably like ly that in much more recent times than back in the day.

These guys lift weights and can bomb the drives now, not like they used to, and I believe the extra distance gained now, as opposed to the past, is what has made it such an important stats over the others.

Even if it does mean eventual back surgery for the golfers...lol.
