# Strokes gained approach

Strokes gained approach measures every shot played to the green from outside the short-game zone against the tour average from that lie and distance: expected strokes before, minus expected putts from where it finished, minus one. Par-3 tee shots are approaches; the PGA TOUR counts approaches from beyond 30 yards, and Broadie’s original short game runs to 100 yards.

## Key figures

- To 10 feet: 2.945 before, 1.626 after, worth +0.319.
- To 25 feet: 2.945 before, 1.931 after, worth +0.014.
- Distance 75 yards: Fairway 2.738.

## Scope

- Every figure is the published Broadie baseline, the same one the calculators and the app price every shot with.
