Stat Stickiness: Which Golf Skills Actually Travel Week to Week
Every fantasy golf lineup is a bet on the same thing: that how a player has been playing tells you something about how he's about to play. We wanted to know which parts of that bet are real — and which ones are basically a coin flip.
So we ran the numbers across four seasons of PGA Tour golf and measured, for every major stat, how strongly a player's recent form predicts the same stat that week. We call it the stickiness score. A high score means the skill repeats — recent form carries over. A low score means it doesn't — last month tells you almost nothing about this week.
The results reshape how you should think about building your models in FGB Studio. Some of the numbers DFS players lean on hardest turn out to be the least repeatable in the game.
