Questions

How far back do the hole-by-hole scores go?

To the 2001 PGA Tour season. The table shows, season by season, how many tournaments have every round's holes.

Is there hole-by-hole data for the LPGA, LIV or the DP World Tour?

No. ESPN keeps round totals for those tours, not holes, so they have leaderboards and round scores only.

Does it include shot locations or strokes gained by category?

No. The source has strokes per hole, not shots; strokes versus the field is computed from scores.

Is it free?

Every account starts with 500 free credits and no card. A scorecard is 2 credits.

What it will not do

  • PGA Tour only.
  • Strokes per hole, not shots: no shot locations, no strokes gained by category.
  • Match-play and team events have no stroke-play holes.
