Attribute by attribute

  • At A, Puig's power rating is top-tier (92nd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 8 players in the pool rate higher. How far the ball goes off the tee — long hitters shorten every hole.
  • At B, Puig's accuracy rating is a touch below tour-average (42nd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 55 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How often the ball finds the fairway and stays out of trouble.
  • At B+, Puig's iron play rating is modestly above average (61st percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 37 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Precision from the fairway into the green — the single biggest driver of low scores.
  • At B+, Puig's short game rating is a shade above the pool average (63rd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 35 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Scrambling around the green — chips, pitches, and bunker shots that save par.
  • Putting sits at B+ for Puig, a shade above the pool average across the 2025–26 pool: 30 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Holing putts, especially the ones inside ten feet that turn pars into birdies.

  • At B+, Puig's nerve rating is on the stronger side of average (52nd percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — 46 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. Composure in contention — how a golfer performs with the tournament on the line.
  • Consistency B+ — a shade above the pool average in the 2025–26 pool; 42 of the other 95 players in the pool rate higher. How tightly a golfer's scores cluster around their average, round after round.
  • At A, Puig's engine rating is top-tier (94th percentile of the 2025–26 pool) — only 6 players in the pool rate higher. Stamina and durability across a long season — fewer withdrawals, less late-year fade.
