About OTIS.

What OTIS Golf covers

OTIS is a free reference for PGA Tour statistics covering the fifteen most recent seasons. That means a profile for every player in that window — 1,489 of them, with their strokes-gained splits, results, rankings and career record; a page for every course the tour has visited, 154 venues in all, with specs, hosting history, past winners and hole-by-hole scoring; and the full final leaderboard of every event played. On top of that sit the things you can only get by holding all of it at once: who is in form right now, which players suit this week's course, and standing leaderboards for wins, majors and world ranking. Reading any of it requires no account, and everything can be exported as CSV.

Why it exists

The tour's own numbers are public, but they are scattered and hard to actually read. OTIS exists to make them legible: one place where you can look up a player or a course and see the stats laid out plainly, with every figure traceable to a published tour stat and the gaps left visible instead of filled in. When the data doesn't exist, the page says so rather than inventing a number.

Who builds it

OTIS is an independent project, built and maintained solo. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the PGA Tour; it simply reads the tour's public data feed and presents it honestly. The one thing on the site that isn't taken straight from the tour — the course-fit model — is clearly labelled as a model and explained in the methodology. Software development tools that use AI assist in building and maintaining the site; how that is used, and where it deliberately is not, is set out on the privacy page.

Where the numbers come from

Every figure on this site comes from the PGA Tour's own public data feed — the same source that powers the tour's website. Nothing is estimated, interpolated or reconstructed. Where the tour never published a value, the page shows a gap rather than filling it in, which is why some older seasons look sparser than recent ones: they genuinely are. There is exactly one place where OTIS combines published numbers into a figure of its own, the course-fit model, and it is labelled as a model everywhere it appears. That distinction — published fact here, disclosed model there, never the two blurred together — is the whole editorial policy, and it is written out in full on the methodology page.

What strokes gained measures

Strokes gained answers a question raw statistics cannot: how many shots did a player gain or lose against the field, from a given position, on a given type of shot. A player who hits a green from 180 yards has done something measurably different from a player who hits the same green from 90, and strokes gained is what separates the two. It splits into off the tee, approach, around the green and putting, which is why it can say not just that a player is playing well but where the strokes are actually coming from. It requires ShotLink-measured rounds, so it exists for tour events and not for every round a professional plays — another reason some profiles carry gaps. Every term is defined in the glossary.

What you can download

Everything readable here is exportable. The custom data builder lets you pick players, pick seasons and pick columns, then take the result away as a CSV — season aggregates, individual event results, or round-by-round scores. Browsing and previewing an export are always free and need no account; a free account raises the limit on how many rows you can export at once. The point is that the data should be usable somewhere other than here: a stats site that will only show you its numbers, and never hand them over, is a walled garden with extra steps.

Common questions

What is OTIS Golf?

A free reference for PGA Tour statistics covering the fifteen most recent seasons: strokes gained, results and rankings for every player, plus profiles, scorecards and hosting history for every course. No account is needed to read any of it.

Who runs OTIS Golf?

It is an independent project, built and maintained solo. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the PGA Tour — it reads the tour's public data feed and presents it.

Is OTIS Golf free to use?

Yes. Every page, statistic and leaderboard is readable without an account and without payment. A free account is only needed to export unusually large CSV files at once; browsing and previewing exports are always free.

Does OTIS Golf use AI?

AI-assisted software development tools are used to build and maintain the site. No statistic on OTIS is generated, estimated or rewritten by AI — every figure is restated from the PGA Tour's published data feed, and the one derived number, the course-fit model, is a disclosed statistical model rather than an AI system. Nothing you do on the site is sent to an AI service.

How is OTIS Golf different from the PGA Tour's own site?

The same public numbers, made readable and comparable: fifteen seasons in one place, every figure traceable to its published source, gaps left visible instead of filled in, and everything exportable as CSV.

Where does OTIS Golf get its PGA Tour statistics?

From the PGA Tour's own public data feed, the same source behind the tour's website. Figures are restated, never estimated — where the tour published nothing, OTIS shows a gap instead of a guess.

How far back does OTIS Golf's data go?

Across the fifteen most recent PGA Tour seasons. Coverage is deeper in recent seasons because the tour itself published more measured data over time; older seasons carry results and rankings more completely than strokes-gained splits.

Can I download PGA Tour stats as a CSV?

Yes. The custom data builder exports season stats, event results or round-by-round scores for any players and seasons you choose, as a CSV file.

Sourcing is set out on the methodology page; every stat name is defined in the glossary.
