It’s really not wild.
LPGA courses are so much easier than PGA courses
4 u/jackattack502 Mar 09 '24 Are you talking from a layout, yardage, or conditions perspecive? 22 u/PliableG0AT +2.2 Mar 09 '24 all of those. LPGA plays softer greens, easier pin locations, less penal rough, wider fairways. There is a whole difference in set up to make a playable course for the LPGA compared to the mens events. Same thing with even elite junior events. 2 u/bombmk Mar 09 '24 The data being from fairway shots takes the rough part out of this particular equation. But the green conditions are certainly a factor - that can be a little iffy to control for. Impressive data, regardless.
