I will try to finish out the blog posts this week discussing statistical findings.
Today I’m taking a look at the players who have qualified for these stats in each of the last 5 seasons (2006-2010). So, Tiger will not be included in here. In all, only 89 players actually qualified for these stats in each of the last five seasons.
The first thing I did was got the stats of who was the closest to the pin on average for the past five seasons. In these rankings, you will see their total 2006-2010 Danger Zone ranking and their 2009 Putts Gained Per Round ranking. Since Putts Gained Per Round was only listed in 2009, that’s all I can use for now. But I think it would give the idea as to *why* many of these guys are able to keep their PGA Tour Card for the last 5 seasons…and it’s not because they putt lights out.

I also did my ‘Adjusted Danger Zone’ ranking. This formula adds a weight to the percentage of the total shots that they hit from either the 175-200 or the 200-225 increment.
