• Par 5 Scoring
• Total Strokes Gained

Despite being a longer par 71, TPC Twin Cities plays as one of the easier courses on the Tour schedule -- but it's not a high-20s number that has won it in the past.

Also despite some length and despite three of the four winners being Tony Finau, Cameron Champ, and Matthew Wolff, driving accuracy has mattered a good amount for success here. One way or another (distance or accuracy), you want your golfers to be gaining strokes off the tee.

With the larger-than-average greens and tame scoring conditions, irons are a must, and missing birdie chances is pretty unforgivable.

You can get away with a weak putter if you are storming the field in greens in regulation gained, and overall, putting hasn't explained the reason for winning. That said, putting is never something to cross off entirely.
