Golf Digest shows how tour pros use data to aim

Luke Kerr-Dineen, Golf Digest Game Plan, uses Corey Jez and Tour IQ ShotLink data to show that shot patterns are a bell curve, not an even oval. Pros still aim away from real hazards. When a short-sided miss is a pretend penalty, they fire closer to tucked pins so most shots finish nearer the hole. This is instruction, not a 2026 Tour Championship result.
