Brooks: The new Tiger?

[Slab]

Driving is way more than "for show" on the PGA Tour. These are the best 5 in SG Off the Tee with their Fed-Ex ranking in brackets:

1. Rory McIlroy (2)
2. Dustin Johnson (7)
3. Bubba Watson (68)
4. Jon Rahm (9)
5. Keith Mitchell (35)

And it's a similar story when you look at SG Tee-to-Green:

1. Rory McIlroy (2)
2. Justin Thomas (16)
3. Patrick Cantlay (6)
4. Dustin Johnson (7)
5. Hideki Matsuyama (29)

Driving it well = money on the PGA Tour, especially when compared to putting, where only 1 guy in the top 10 (Justin Rose) is making it to East Lake at the minute.

Although its appears to be good for making money... but not it seems to be the best in the world

Brooks is 9th tee-to-green. T56 in putting. It's good for being the best in the world as well

I'm not saying putting is more important than driving. But it's usually the best putter who drives well that wins.

They're all decent eniugh putters and hitting fairways and greens earns them money. But you still have to find the hole.
