What does rData mean?
Any stats that are listed as rData means relative Data. These are stats that are relative to the field for an event. For example, take Player A and Player B. They both played in two different events and had Driving Accuracy of 60%. So they're the same, correct? Not necessarily. If the average driving accuracy for the event Player A competed in was 55% and the average driving accuracy for the event Player B competed in was 65% then Player A outperformed the field and Player B underperformed. Their rData for Driving Accuracy would be 5% and -5%, respectively. This means that Player A has hit 5% more greens than the field and Player B has hit 5% less.
Simply put, when the rData for any player is 0 for any stat it means they are performing average in that stat against the fields they have played against. Be sure to consider the stat type. In the above example, a positive % for driving accuracy is a good thing. However, for a statistic like proximity, a negative number (such as -3.4) would be better because it means the player is hitting their approach shots 3.4 feet closer to the hole than average.
We feel that this is the most important way to look at individual statistics as different courses and fields provide different challenges and skillsets.
*Note: You’ll notice there is no rData for Strokes Gained data. This is because Strokes Gained is already calculated against the field.
What is your proprietary stat "xBoB"?
We get this question all the time and while it is somewhat self-explanatory, it certainly contains quite a bit of data and advanced modeling. We use the xBoB in both our model and our betting picks and if you ask any of our users you’ll hear we’ve had tremendous returns (2023 season showed an ROI of 207%, almost tripling the initial investment if you followed our system each week.
Here is what we can say about the stat: It is a complex calculation that allows us to see if a player is truly giving themselves a chance to perform well. It removes the stats that have significant variance and enables us to say “This player may not be showing great results recently but he’s playing even better than the Strokes Gained stats dictate and this could be tremendous value spot”. I know many people have tried backing into our xBoB, and while getting reasonably close, they have been extremely unsuccessful at dialing in specific patterns we have found in lead-in form over the years. We can confidently say that our weekly picks (betting and DFS) come from primarily analyzing the trends of this stat. More to come!
