Strokes Gained Regression & Ranking Model
This interactive model demonstrates the adjusted ranking equation developed in my mathematics capstone. It uses four Strokes Gained categories to calculate a predicted round score. Adjust the category values to see how each one influences the result.
// ADJUSTED RANKING MODEL EQUATION
Predicted Score =
70.26386678 - 0.5(OTT) - 0.5(APP) - 0.5(ARG) - 0.25(PUTT)
The adjusted coefficients were selected to reduce the average ranking difference when compared with FedEx Cup standings.
Strokes Gained Inputs
Performance on tee shots on par 4s and par 5s.
Performance on shots toward the green and tee shots on par 3s.
Performance on shots within 50 yards of the green.
Performance on shots taken on the putting surface.
Positive Strokes Gained values indicate performance above the benchmark. Because the model uses negative coefficients, higher Strokes Gained values reduce the predicted score.
Predicted Round Score
Lower predicted scores indicate stronger modeled performance.
Coefficient Contributions
SCORE IMPACTThe default inputs reproduce the 2022 Rory McIlroy example from my capstone presentation. His Strokes Gained values produce a predicted score of approximately 69.3306, which was ranked first in the model's 2022 top-ten comparison.
Original Regression Models
Before developing the adjusted ranking model, I constructed two multiple linear regression models using Strokes Gained categories to predict total round score.

The coefficients above belong to the original regression models. The interactive calculator uses the separate adjusted ranking model coefficients shown in the equation above.
FedEx Cup Ranking Comparison
I used predicted scores to create player rankings and compared those rankings against the actual PGA Tour FedEx Cup standings. The ranking model coefficients were adjusted by 0.25 to reduce the average ranking difference.

Model Limitations
- • Limited sample size.
- • Regression dataset focused on the 2024 season, creating potential seasonal bias.
- • Does not account for weather, course difficulty, or course length.
- • Ranking comparison focused on the top ten rather than the entire PGA Tour standings.
Future Improvements
- • Expand the dataset to include more seasons and players.
- • Incorporate course difficulty and weather variables.
- • Apply machine learning models.
- • Develop an application or interface for easier player analysis.
