PGA Tour Scoring Statistics and Field-Average Trends
The clearest multi-year scoring series in the supplied material is the PLAYERS Championship field average. These are event-level averages for the tournament field, not universal PGA TOUR season averages.
| PLAYERS Championship period | Field scoring average, strokes per round |
|---|---|
| 2024 | 71.47 |
| 2023 | 72.45 |
| 2022 | 72.62 |
| 2021 | 72.42 |
| 2019 | 71.51 |
| 2018 | 71.41 |
| 2017 | 71.99 |
| 2016 | 72.00 |
Source: Past PLAYERS Field Analysis. The displayed series omits 2020, and each value describes the PLAYERS Championship field.
Within this event series, the reported average was 71.47 strokes per round in 2024, compared with 72.45 in 2023 and 72.62 in 2022. Because course setup, weather and field conditions can differ by event year, these observations describe the PLAYERS Championship rather than a causal trend for the entire TOUR.
PGA Tour Driving Distance and Accuracy Data
Driving statistics show both power and placement, but the supplied observations again refer specifically to PLAYERS Championship fields.
| Period | Driving distance, yards per drive | Driving accuracy, % of drives in fairway |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 293.1 | 60.51% |
| 2023 | 288.1 | 59.55% |
| 2022 | 284.2 | — |
| 2021 | 289.0 | — |
| 2019 | 288.3 | — |
| 2018 | 293.1 | — |
| 2017 | 288.8 | — |
| 2016 | 291.4 | — |
Source: Past PLAYERS Field Analysis. A dash means that the supplied dataset did not include a driving-accuracy value for that year.
The 2024 PLAYERS field averaged 293.1 yards per drive and placed 60.51% of drives in the fairway. In 2023, the corresponding figures were 288.1 yards and 59.55%, while the distance series ranged from 284.2 yards in 2022 to 293.1 yards in 2018.
These measures should be read together: distance describes average yards per drive, while accuracy describes the percentage of drives in the fairway. Neither value is a whole-season TOUR leaderboard or an individual-player result.
PGA Tour Greens-in-Regulation and Approach Statistics
Greens in regulation, or GIR, measures the share of greens reached in regulation for the specified PLAYERS Championship field. The supplied GIR series covers five displayed tournament years.
| PLAYERS Championship period | Field GIR, % of greens hit in regulation |
|---|---|
| 2024 | 64.86% |
| 2023 | 59.04% |
| 2022 | 64.80% |
| 2021 | 66.31% |
| 2019 | 66.74% |
Source: Past PLAYERS Field Analysis.
The 2024 field GIR figure was 64.86%, following 59.04% in 2023 and 64.80% in 2022. The highest supplied value in this partial series was 66.74% in 2019, while 2021 recorded 66.31%.
GIR is an approach-related outcome, but it does not identify club selection, proximity to the hole or strokes gained. Those distinctions matter when comparing event-level GIR with broader player-performance analysis.
PGA Tour Putting and Short-Game Statistics
Putts per round provide a compact measure of putting workload for the field. They are not the same as a putting-quality metric because the number of putts can also reflect approach proximity, scrambling and green conditions.
| PLAYERS Championship period | Field putts per round |
|---|---|
| 2024 | 28.63 |
| 2023 | 28.07 |
| 2022 | 29.70 |
| 2021 | 29.82 |
| 2019 | 29.21 |
| 2018 | 29.42 |
| 2017 | 29.41 |
| 2016 | 29.16 |
Source: Past PLAYERS Field Analysis.
The PLAYERS field averaged 28.63 putts per round in 2024, compared with 28.07 in 2023. The highest supplied field value was 29.82 putts per round in 2021, and the 2022 field averaged 29.70.
Because these figures are field averages from one tournament, they should not be presented as official whole-season putting averages. They are most useful for describing how the event field performed during each listed edition.
PGA Tour Birdie, Scoring and Performance Records
PGA TOUR’s April 22, 2024 report described an in-season snapshot of Scottie Scheffler’s birdie production. Scheffler averaged 5.38 birdies per round through April 22, 2024, while the cited single-season record was 4.92 birdies per round by Tiger Woods in 2020; the report stated that this statistic has been tracked since 1980.
Source: By the numbers: Statistics confirm Scottie Scheffler’s historical dominance. Scheffler’s figure is an in-season snapshot, not a final-season value.
The same report placed Scheffler’s recent results in a defined 51-start window beginning with his first win at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open:
- Scheffler had 10 PGA TOUR victories in 51 starts from the 2022 WM Phoenix Open through April 2024.
- He recorded 23 top-three finishes in those 51 starts, with the report stating 45%.
- He recorded 35 top-10 finishes in those 51 starts, with the report stating 68.6%.
- In his previous five starts ending at the 2024 RBC Heritage, he had four wins and one runner-up.
The report also compared the path to 10 victories: David Duval reached 10 PGA TOUR wins in 33 starts after his first win, while Tiger Woods reached 10 in 59 starts. These are historical comparisons reported by PGA TOUR, not independently reworked calculations.
PGA Tour Wins, Consistency and FedExCup-Era Outcomes
Consistency can be expressed through par-or-better streaks and season-spanning wins. The April 2024 report said Scheffler had 40 consecutive TOUR rounds at par or better, beginning with the final round of the 2023 TOUR Championship, compared with Tiger Woods’ cited record of 52 consecutive rounds across 2000–01.
The same report said Scheffler had won 10 or more times across three seasons, the first player to do so since Dustin Johnson’s 10 wins between the 2015–16 and 2017–18 seasons. It also said Scheffler’s four wins in the 2024 season through April 22 matched his career high from 2022; this is an in-season observation.
TOUR Championship winning scores illustrate how outcomes varied across selected FedExCup-era editions:
| TOUR Championship period | Winner | Winning score |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Scottie Scheffler | 30 under par, 264 strokes |
| 2022–23 | Viktor Hovland | 27 under par, 261 strokes |
| 2021–22 | Rory McIlroy | 21 under par, 263 strokes |
| 2019–20 | Dustin Johnson | 21 under par, 269 strokes |
| 2017–18 | Tiger Woods | 11 under par, 269 strokes |
