World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, the first-ever back-to-back Players Champion, currently leads the PGA Tour's greens in regulation statistics – hitting an impressive 77.78% in the 2023-2024 season so far.

But, despite his impressive record, Scheffler is currently being outperformed by 10 LPGA players in this category, with Rose Zhang and So Mi Lee leading the pack at a whopping 81.9%.

She also displayed her accuracy alongside men during the second round of the 2023 PGA Tour’s Shriners Children’s Open, hitting 12 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation, finishing with a creditable 2-under 69 for an even-par tournament total.
