How important is the short game on tour? Every week on the PGA Tour , our favorite professional golfers dazzle us with their play around the greens. While tee shots and approach shots are important, it is the short game that that ultimately narrows down the field and provides us with a winner. The TV highlight reels of PGA Tour events are always jam-packed with pros holing out from impossible lies and sinking unbelievably long putts that have multiple breaks. Tournaments are often decided by clutch putting and by solid green-side play.
Each week, we'll remind you just how important the short game is on the PGA Tour by providing a short analysis of the short game successes of the winner and other top finishers.
