I'm a fan of the work done over at fivethirtyeight.com. For those not familiar it is a site run by Nate Silver. He and the staff analyze everything from sports to entertainment to politics with a numbers based approach. They took a look at the "drive for show, putt for dough" premise, and came up with some interesting results.

I'm certainly no statistician, and I really don't know all that much about golf (particularly tour golf) in the grand scheme of things. Maybe this thing is full of flaws and somebody here can parse that out. Maybe it's right on. I'll leave that to you guys to decide. I just thought it was interesting.
