Driving distance is not the story
It never was, and the shot data keeps saying so

Original reporting & analysis · Homie Golf Tour desk
Distance buys margin, not wins. Dispersion and wedge play close the deal.
The setup
Every leaderboard has one bomber and four surgeons.
What happened
Fairways gained from 300+ correlate with wins far better than raw distance.
What it means
Chase control. Distance is a byproduct of a good strike anyway.
How we cover the Tour
Everything on the Tour desk is written in-house by Marcus Santana and the Homie Golf crew. We watch the golf, track the numbers, and write our own read on the week — no wire copy, no rewrites of somebody else's article.
New Tour coverage posts every morning: setup reports, winning bags, cut-line math, Sunday reaction and the stuff that actually decided the tournament.
No ad units, no pop-ups on Tour pages, no paid placements. Just the read.
