As the old saying goes, there are different ways to skin a cat, especially at Augusta National. Some big hitters have prevailed over the years at The Masters, but that doesn't mean distance is a pre-requisite to success. For example, Zach Johnson famously laid up on every par 5 en route to victory in 2007.
That said, if you analyse the scorecards of the last 12 Masters winners, certain themes begin to emerge. In 2026, statistical analysis is a huge part of the professional game and can help players gain an edge on the competition.
