It's back, our Guide to the 2009 PGA Tour season. Not only is it in an electronic version, but we also have found a way for you all to have it printed and sent to your home. Looking for that perfect publication that will help you know how well a player does in certain courses, certain conditions and in certain months?
We have that tool for you, welcome to the GolfStats Guide to the 2009 PGA Tour, our second annual publication. It’s designed to give all the information a fantasy golf player could dream of or any avid follower of the PGA Tour could want to know in order to more fully appreciate players and tournaments. The information in this electronic book can not be found anywhere else and is based on an extensive data base of results and statistics from Tour events.
The two main sections of this book break things down tournament by tournament and player by player. Each tournament page (example from the Mercedes-Benz Championship) gives a detailed look at the top 15 to 20 players (more for major championships) in that event based on their past records, with a year-by-year breakdown of their recent finishes and their overall stats including scoring average and money won in that tournament. It also gives you an overview, tells about the course, gives short recaps of the last three years and reasons for victory, keys to who will win in 2009, and picks by myself and David Barrett.
But the heart and soul of this electronic book is the way you can link to the Internet on Golfstats. One of the big problems I encountered in 1998 when I put together Pro Golf was that we were limited to a finite number of pages and a lot of really great information couldn’t be included. In a way there are no restrictions to an electronic book, though to make it easier to read you have to keep it to a certain size. But in the links, of which there are more than 7,500, we let you explore the stats that you want to find out about and can help you better understand where players do well and not so well. So the key is not just the book itself but the way it lets you communicate with Golfstats.com in finding out everything that you need to know.
On top of the tournament section we also have a player section which breaks down the performance of 110 selected players (example of Tiger Woods) into more categories than you can imagine. The electronic book gives their results in each and every tournament from 2001 through 2008 and highlights their best events. It gives their PGA Tour box scores (driving distance, fairways hit, etc.) for the last three years, but again through Golfstats.com you can look at all of their box scores going back to 1997. And in order to show when and where each player shines and where he struggles, there is a chart in the electronic book breaking down performance by month and breaking out how they do in various categories: major championships; hard, medium, and easy courses; desert courses; TPC courses; courses with Bermuda greens; and more. This information is truly unique and gives unprecedented insight into the players and their tendencies
We give you more than just numbers. We’ve also enlisted some top golf writers to guide you. Thomas Bonk gives us a look at Tiger Woods, when he will be back and when to pick him. Dave Seanor has a look at players that you should look for in '09 and those that you shouldn't pick and Leonard Shapiro previews the 2009 majors, David Barrett profiles the Q-School graduates and the Nationwide Tour grads so in total you will have bios of over 160 players.
Now you’re ready to go to it—and start impressing your friends with your knowledge, winning major championship pools, cleaning up in fantasy golf, and gaining a greater understanding of the players that will enhance your golf viewing experiences
