@jamierkennedy @DataGolf It’s an average, meaning that probably no winner in the last 20 years was 32yo and 9th in DG rankings, so Bryson’s out

While browsing @DataGolf, came across this gem: datagolf.com/all-time-ranki… Ricky Fowler & Dan Pohl ahead of Trevino? Ken Green, Bob Estes, Gary Koch, Wayne Levi & 140 other golfers ahead of Johnny Miller? Nicklaus behind Davis Love III?

Here's the top 25 in 2026 adjusted strokes-gained:

After another strong week (losing in a playoff to Bryson), Rahm is now leading all players in adjusted strokes-gained in 2026. He'll head into Augusta averaging +2.7 per round, and with all facets of his game being well above average.

@NUCLRGOLFSTATS @DataGolf As usual datagolf score probabilities totally detached from reality

⛳ Sunday Update at the Valspar
🏆 Leaders at -9: Fitzpatrick, Snedeker, Im, Lipsky, & Penge
Clubhouse leader: Schauffele at -8. Posted a final round 65 (-6).
Winning Score Probabilities presented by @DataGolf.
-12 & -11 are at 26% while -13 is at 17%.

@dogwood_maple They are updated every Monday afternoon, and sometimes Tues/Wed depending on field changes.
There is a brief explainer about what is accounted for at the top of the page. They won't be perfect. I'll be interested to see how many top guys skip Valspar-Houston-Valero.
English
Question about projected upcoming schedules for @DataGolf - three of the top five (Scottie, Rory, Young) and 6 of the top 27 have a sub-50% likelihood of playing any of the three weeks before Augusta.
Any word on what goes into those percentages and/or when an update might be coming?

Brooks is getting hot with his irons again at Valspar, currently 4th today on approach (+3.6 after gaining a stroke in R1). This is becoming a theme for BK, who is 4th in adjusted SG: Approach on Tour this season.
Something worth monitoring as we head into major season...
English
I walked with BK last week and it was impressive to say the least. The shot he hit on 3 was right before the round 1 rain delay (post shown below).
I also walked with him to start round 3: datagolf.com/live-blog/the-…

@JosephLaMagna fyi, Scottie isn't losing a stroke/round on approach in his last 3 events. You must have looked at cumulative/event.
Also, should really look at adjusted SG... Scottie's last 3 events were against the strongest in golf. We maintain "official" adj. stats: datagolf.com/stats/tour-lis…
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Not trying to do a sleight of hand with comparisons, honestly.
Here's Rahm's 50-round moving average in his career. I don't think anyone think he's elevated since moving to LIV... we have him staying pretty steady.
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Original point was that you didn't like the disconnect between SG and points. I explained why, you moved on to a new complaint.
His best seasons are around +2.5, that's what I was referring to.
English
Jon Rahm would rank 7th in DG points if he’d won all four LIV events this season, even though he would have been the best player in the world in True Strokes Gained in that stretch.
Sick system they’ve cooked up.

Updated 2026 DG Points list. Both the SG and Points (DG PoY) title are wide open as we head into major season. Scottie leads the SG race at +2.7 but 6 others are over +2.0. Bridgeman leads the points race but five players are lurking within 5 points.
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Original tweet was that you don't like that Rahm could be 1st in true SG but 7th in points. But then you switched to saying you just don't like true SG. Rahm is currently +2.6 this year... so I guess you think he should be even higher (i.e. best golf of his career?).
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Right. Original tweet is a little odd then, if you don't believe true SG is a useful metric for LIV.
I think the betting odds exercise is a useful one for convincing yourself that PR ~ LIV in 2026.
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Not a good comparison, because you'll have bad players overperform in R1&R2 to make the cut (and good players who do the opposite). Best player (Hojgaard) MC'd.
Why aren't you just counting the number of top 50 players, top 100, etc, in the field. That is the relevant metric.
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Re: Puerto Rico vs LIV, one useful exercise could be to compare the betting odds of similar players in each field. We list pre-tournament odds on past results pages.
R. Hojgaard was 12-1 to win Puerto Rico. His odds to win a LIV event would be pretty similar, I think.
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 Take any group of top players (like the Players field this week), and their skill will deteriorate over the next 2 years. This effect is even stronger on LIV given how old their average player is.
English
@TeeTimesPub @Jkrom11 If you agree with DG rankings, then you should agree with DG Points. They are directly derived from true SG / DG rankings.
Average ranking not really relevant if you aren't accounting for field size.
