Performance Table

As Phil Mickelson found out at the 2016 Open Championship, great performances in golf are not always rewarded with wins. This table uses true strokes-gained and expected wins (xWins) as two alternative ways of evaluating player performance. While not perfect, these metrics do a better job of cutting through the randomness inherent to performance in golf.

Notes: Expected wins statistics do not include the WGC Match Play, Zurich Classic team events, or Qualifying Schools. Separate expected win models are used for 4-round versus 3-round events; 2-round events are not included. Expected wins for players who WD or are DQ'd after 3 or more rounds are included (AKA the Jon Rahm rule). Wins and strokes-gained numbers include all events listed on the player profile pages.
