How Often Pros Make an 8-Footer – Golf Towel No. 5

No. 5 of a seven-towel series: one golf question per towel. How often do tour pros make an 8-footer? About half the time. Shot-by-shot tour data puts the 50-50 distance at just under 8 feet. The towel shows a ring of putts from 8 feet, half of them in. Miss one and you’re in good company.

The data

• From just under 8 feet, PGA Tour players make about half their putts.
• From that distance they average 1.5 putts to hole out.
