- Hogan was reported to start almost all par 4's and 5's with his woodenheaded driver, while Woods is often using his #3 wood or a long iron that surely "unfairly" improves his FIR statistics in this context;

'unfairly' seems like a odd way to put it and be objective. How many was 'almost' or 'often"?

A 300 yd + driver of the ball increases his chances of being off the green more so than a 250 yd driver hitting the ball in the same direction. Not every shot in golf is a full shot either. Tiger has been ripping up the tour with his chip shots and putting. Hogan hated putters and putting.
