What is Events?
Official tournaments entered that season.
How it's calculated
This is a tour-published record for the season or career, restated here without adjustment or recalculation. The tour is the system of record for it: entries, finishes, prize money and ranking positions are all determined by the tour's own scoring and administration, and OTIS reads the published result. Where a figure was revised after the fact — a disqualification applied late, a ranking recalculated — the revised figure is what appears here, because the alternative is preserving a number the tour itself no longer stands behind.
How to read it
Neither high nor low is better — it is context. It tells you how much opportunity sits behind every counting statistic on the same page.
What it doesn't say
Counting statistics reward opportunity as well as quality. A player who enters more events has more chances to accumulate them, so comparing totals between players with different schedules — or different career lengths — measures availability as much as ability. Rates and per-round figures answer that question better than totals do. They are also era-dependent in ways that are easy to miss: purses, field sizes and the number of events available have all changed across the window covered here, so a total from one decade is not directly comparable with the same total from another. And a season in progress is not a season: these figures keep moving until it closes.
