How Player Rankings are Computed
This is based on the most vital stats from TPC Twin Cities, data from last year’s 3M Open, and data from all the players in the field with stats from 2023.
Last year was the fourth year of the 3M Open. It was a popular venue Champions Tour event before switching for 2019. The switch proved very successful as the community got in the back of the tournament and made it a mainstay for the Minnesota area. Now the heart and soul of the event is the course, TPC Twin Cities. It’s a course most players like because they can produce a low score on it. Last year because of the weather, the scoring average was 71.44, which is almost half a shot over par and the 14th easiest course. Winner Tony Finau was 17 under par, making 20 birdies in his three-shot victory. In 2021 the scoring average was 70.44 (a shot easier than last year), half a shot under par, and the 24th hardest course on Tour. Winner Cameron Champ scored 15 under par and had 21 birdies for the week. The previous year it played to a 69.95 scoring average, a shot below its par. Ranking-wise, it was the 23rd hardest on the PGA Tour.
With the course playing this easy, 1,510 birdies and 38 eagles were made. Now it wasn’t as good as in 2019 when the course had more birdies made on it (1,976) than any other course in 2019. In 2020 the course had 1,769 birdies, placing it 36th out of 41 courses, and in 2021 1,687 birdies were made, ranking it 42nd out of 51 courses. So it’s important to note that making birdies could be one of the essential parts of playing well at TPC Twin Cities.
So the stats make the point that this is a bomber’s course. The same with Eagles; last year, 38 were made, and that is good for a course that only has three par 5s.
In our four categories, we have picked four needed to win. First, we will use Strokes Gained Tee-the-Green, which looks at the combination of length of drive off the tee, accuracy, and ability to hit greens. Last year the average drive was 288.8 for all the holes, ranking 16th. As for accuracy off the tee, the course was 38th with 63.54% of the drives in the fairway. Looking at last year’s winner Tony Finau ranked 17th in driving distance and T-6th in accuracy, so he ranked 1st in Strokes Gained Tee-to-green. In 2021, the average drive was 300.3 yards for measured drives and ranked 37th, meaning that only 14 other courses on the Tour saw longer driving averages. As for accuracy off the tee, the course was 28th, with 62.66% of the drives in the fairway. Looking at 2021 winner Cameron Champ, he ranked 8th in driving distance and T-49th in accuracy, so he ranked 27th in Strokes Gained Tee-to-Green.
