This week on the PGA TOUR
Aon Insight
The AT&T Byron Nelson has yielded many low scores since moving to TPC Craig Ranch two years ago, with 20 players finishing the tournament 20-under or better in that span. In order to keep pace, players are encouraged to seize upon every birdie opportunity they have – the 14th hole being a good one. Players who go for the green with their drive at this short par 4 have made birdie or eagle 14% more often than players who lay up. The best finishers have used this insight to their advantage: players in the top-10 at this event go for the green about 73% of the time – the rest of the field, just 52.4%.
At the end of the regular season, the most consistent player across each tour, with the lowest average score under par, on the Aon Risk Reward hallenge holes captures the $1 million prize.
Aon is committed to a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive, ensuring delivery of the best innovative solutions for clients. As such, providing equal prize money to both the PGA and LPGA Tours aligns with Aon’s core values and brand.
