Every category weighted equally. This course has not accumulated enough history for its weights to be tested, so we do not score course fit here.
What the data says
We do not publish a course-fit read for TPC Louisiana. Venue weights are kept only
where they predicted results on seasons the model had never seen, and this course has not yet
accumulated enough history to clear that bar — 2 editions in the archive.
That is deliberate. It would be easy to generate confident-looking numbers from
924 rounds of scoring data; they would just not mean anything. Until the
signal is testable, every category is weighted equally here and course fit is not scored. The
winners below are still worth reading as history — they are simply not a forecast.
Method. Weights come from regressing top-20 finishes on players' strokes gained in
each category, using only rounds played
before each event, and comparing each course against
the tour-wide baseline — so a weight measures what this course rewards
more than golf generally
does, not simply which skills help. Weights are kept only where they predicted results out of
sample; where they did not, we say so. We tested our previous method, found it did not predict, and
published that too:
