@AudacityOfHoops Yes, plan is to post opposite-field predictions, etc. tomorrow morning. There is a note on its card on the home page, which I realize now is not a good way to communicate to API users.

@DataGolf FYI the opposite field odds feed is still showing Puerto Rico Open data instead of Myrtle Beach. Just wanted to let you know, in case you were not aware. Cheers & thanks!

Cam Young's 50-round moving average is stabilizing above +2 strokes-gained, a level he never quite reached back in 2022/2023. He hit a new peak in this week's rankings at +2.1, which is 65th on the all-time list (just ahead of Leonard and Azinger).

@3jackbandit @Mattyshots11 the problem with the situation filter is that golfer skill evolving over time is so noisy we need all the data we can get. Filtering out situational data makes things even noisier.

@3jackbandit @Mattyshots11 by accomplishments, we agree (have him 11th). But by SG, he's still playing really well. He'll be a top 5 favourite in betting markets at the PGA.

@JosephLaMagna @nimo126 Torrey is the longest course on tour, that's the main reason it favours bombers. Oak hill, winged foot, also very long. Old post, but I think ppl forget the basic fact that length/deep rough tend to come together on pga tour courses: datagolf.com/who-benefits-f…

@gary_hcl It happens occasionally for an individual round. A little more likely with a field of only 72. But yes, not common. Also surprising that the short hitters are the best performing group of the day (by far)!

@DataGolf I suppose this can’t be a common occurrence, the slope for skill separation to be negative. Curious when is the last time this has happened?

@yetisalmon probably a few reasons... he hasn't won, good ball-striker, lots of mediocre but solid finishes recently. Not particularly high on him this week though.

@DataGolf Is there any particular reason DG projections are so high on Ryan Gerard every single week? Just curious.

Some SG notes from the Zurich (all shots): - Horschel led field in cumulative SG (+10.6) - Team Fitz: Matt gained 10.5 for the week; Alex 3.4 - Ham & Egg leaders: Kang and Ghim. Finished 6th, but ranked 20th of 35 in SG - Most lopsided team: Dunlap gained 6.9, Sargent lost 4.5

@betting_golfer ya, not sure why that is. Looking into it. His profile is loading most of the time for me now (but very slowly).

@StackunitsNBL Not directly, no. But course fit and course history would be indirectly incorporating anything specific to a course.

@Housemoney16 Not really. You can query a date range to just show last week's data, but we won't have the full Zurich field available. Just this week's fields or DG Top 150.

@DataGolf Is the data available for us to view anywhere or can you only see it on individual player profile pages?

Only Vijay in 2004 (also +1.3) at age 41 has had a better approach season in his 40s. Incredibly, Jay Haas averaged +1.0 on approach and +1.74 total in 2004 in his age-50 season! He also made the '04 Ryder Cup team.

@MarcAsmussen You are probably reacting to score/SG-based rankings versus points rankings. SG values all tournaments equally (after adjusting for field quality). Rahm is 11th in our points rankings.

@DataGolf How can Rahm be ahead of Rory. LIV impact is way too high. Just makes no sense.

We released DG Women's Rankings in today's newsletter. Simple player profiles and (potentially) DG Points to follow in the coming weeks.
