Scratch golfers tracking their games on Arccos are not playing extremely difficult 7,500 yard courses under tournament conditions, being followed by TV crews and playing for millions of dollars. The PGA Tour average edges the scratch player by a fairly small margin (3.07 vs 3.1 on par 3s for example), but this is where conditions come into play. Surprisingly, the averages when it comes to par 3, 4 and 5 scoring are much closer than you might expect. ![]() Perhaps even more impressively, Sungjae Im averaged just two bogeys per round for the entire season, well less than half of what a scratch player averages (4.6). Cameron Smith made an incredible 4.63 birdies per round for the 2022 season, which is more than double what scratch players average (2.2). When it comes to scoring, tour pros pick up more birdies and make fewer bogeys than scratch golfers just as you would expect. Herbert also topped the putts-per-round statistic, perhaps unsurprisingly, with an average of just 27.7 - a full three less than scratch golfers average. During the 2022 PGA Tour season, the 1-putt average was 7.04, with Australia's Lucas Herbert averaging an incredible 8.09 1-putts per round. Zero digit golfers have 5.2 1-putts per round, again well behind the pro.
