WHAT THE STATS SAY
Strengths: Reed had a terrific season in terms of Strokes Gained: Approach and ranked 6th in the league, gaining 0.61 strokes per round. He thrived with his short irons, leading the league in Strokes Gained: Approach from 150 yards and in, gaining 0.54 strokes on the field per round on average.
Reed ranked 7th in Strokes Gained: Around the Green, which is no surprise, given his reputation as one of the best players in the world in that department over the course of his career. He scrambled at a 65% rate, which was good for T3 in the league. Tied to his ability to scramble was the fact that Reed ranked in the top 5 in bogey avoidance, making bogey or worse on only 13% of his holes played.
Weaknesses: Reed struggled with his long irons, ranking 45th in Strokes Gained: Approach from 225+ yards.
By his lofty standards, Reed didn’t have a great season with the putter. He ranked 25th in the league in Strokes Gained: Putting. Given that he’s typically one of the best putters in the world, I’d expect an improvement in that department for 2026.
