There’s no way to sugarcoat things here; the North Course at Detroit Golf Club is one of the easiest layouts on the PGA Tour rotation. It’s a traditional parkland venue with tree-lined fairways and flat topography. The Par-72 layout comes in at 7,370 yards, and without the penal areas off the tee or on approach, scoring opportunities will be plentiful. Since the course does not penalize poor shots, there is <\/span>little<\/span> separation between great and below-average tee-to-green play. We’ve seen a wide array of golf styles compete at this event, so there’s not a perfect golfer archetype to hone in on this week, though those with plus distance will be at an advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a driver-heavy setup, with the field using <\/span>driver<\/span> off the tee roughly 10-15% more often than a standard PGA Tour event. We also see a greens in regulation rate that hovers around 73%, with GIR% from the fairway and rough significantly higher than an average event. It’s easy to understand why we see such a high GIR% here, considering 31% of the approach shots at Detroit GC come from the 50-125-yard range. We’re looking at a lot of holes where it’s driver-wedge-birdie, which is why the scoring average hovers around 1.7 strokes under par with a winning score in the 18-25 under-par range.<\/span><\/p>\n
