Major Enhancement - Completed Season Statistics

Another ramification of having all the US and European PGA Tour tournament data since 2003 on our system is that we are now able to generate statistics for entire completed seasons. To that end, we are pleased to announce new "Season Statistics" functionality for Golf Predictor. This major new functionality is analogous to the prediction data already available for tournaments. However, there are some important differences to the existing prediction information:

1. The existing predictions only go back to spring 2008, the birth of Golf Predictor! The new season statistics are available for the 2003 season on.
2. The prediction data only covers those golfers entered in a given week. The new season statistics covers all golfers who played at least five tournaments in a given season. This condition was enforced to make the resulting statistics meaningful. It also helped to reduce the amount of records down to a more manageable 500-600 per season.
3. These statistics were not quite available from the system hitherto now. With the prediction data, the most complete season statistics you can get on a player is up to the start of their final tournament (not after it). The new season statistics address this for the 2008 season (the only previous season with predictions).

The new season statistics are available from the new 'Season Stats' and 'Season Stats (R)' pages, both available from the "Stats Analysis" menu in the member section. It is no surprise that a certain individual dominates past season statistics (bar 2005 perhaps)! Both pages rank the players by their average finishing position but as usual, you can sort by multiple columns if you so wish. The 'Season Stats' page is similar to the existing 'Season History' page while the 'Season Stats (R)' is similar to the existing 'Round Scores' page. Both these new pages feature similar charts to the aforementioned existing pages, but they cover all golfers who played at least five times in total and once on the selected tour that year. In total, there are an incredible 39 new charts, the following 13 for each PGA tour (European/US) and both tours combined:

1. The players with the best average finishing position in the selected season.
2. The players with the best scoring average in the selected season.
3. The players with the most number of wins in the selected season.
4. The players with the biggest winning percentage in the selected season.
5. The players with the most number of top tens in the selected season.
6. The players with the biggest top ten finishes percentage in the selected season.
7. The players with the least number of cuts missed in the selected season.
8. The players with the smallest cuts missed percentage in the selected season.
9. The players with the best average first round in the selected season.
10. The players with the best average second round in the selected season.
11. The players with the best average third round in the selected season.
12. The players with the best average final round in the selected season.
13. The players with the best overall average round (stroke average) in the selected season.

As usual, you can hover over a bar to display more information. As before, the percentage charts may be more accurate than the absolute ones as the number of events played by the golfer is taken into consideration. In addition, there are 6 more new charts on the 'Season Data' page for each golfer. You can access this page (analogous to the 'Prediction Data' page) by clicking on any golfer name on the new season statistics pages. These charts show the same information as the multi-year charts on prediction data pages, so we won't count them again! The 'Season Data' page shows the complete season statistics for the selected golfer in the selected season on the selected tour. This includes their complete results, average finish, rank among their peers, season stroke average, season scoring average, season round performance, rounds played and worst/best finish.

This new functionality brings the total number of available charts in Golf Predictor to a staggering 127! As with most of the existing ones, only subscribers can view most of these new charts. However, the scoring average and second round charts are available to non-subscribers. So, sign up today and reap the full benefits of Golf Predictor, the premium professional golf statistics site.
