What does it actually take to win on the PGA Tour?
I went back through the 2026 PGA Tour season and looked at the statistics behind every winner to find out what separates a tournament winner from the rest of the field.
And I found something really interesting.
When you look at the week a player actually wins, putting stands out as the most important factor.
But when you zoom out and look at what makes a player successful over an entire season, Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green tells a very different story.
So which matters more?
Is a great putting week the key to winning? Or does sustained tee-to-green excellence give players the best chance to put themselves in position to win?
In this video, I break down the numbers behind PGA Tour winners and use them to explore the bigger question:
What should we actually be looking for when trying to predict who is going to have a successful week on the PGA Tour?
We'll look at putting, tee-to-green, approach play, driving, scoring and other key statistics to build a better understanding of what a winning profile really looks like.
This isn't about simply finding the guy who ranks first in a statistic.
It's about figuring out which combination of skills gives a player the best chance to win.

The Presidents Cup captain's picks are in — and we're talking about ALL of them.

Tonight, we react immediately to Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy's six captain's picks for the 2026 Presidents Cup, break down the biggest surprises, debate who got in and who got left out, and look at what these teams could mean for Medinah.

But this episode is about more than the Presidents Cup.

It's the beginning of a new chapter for The Second Cut.

Going forward, Greg DuCharme will take a deeper look at the biggest stories, players, tournaments, trends, and numbers in professional golf. The Second Cut will still cover PGA TOUR tournaments with previews and round recaps, while adding more course analysis, winning trends, player performance, golf news, betting, DFS, and the stories shaping the game — with research, strong opinions, and plenty of personality along the way.

The goal is simple:

Go beyond the headlines. Take a second look.
