KPMG program to beef up LPGA statistics beginning at Women’s PGA

ATLANTA – KPMG has been integral in pushing the women’s game forward.

It will integrate with the LPGA’s existing statistical database, which the Tour has dedicated the last five years to cleansing and setting up for use by players and media.

Beginning Thursday, caddies will be paid a nominal fee to begin collecting a second card of information which will track additional data points like club selection, distance, lie and putting distance.

After the round, caddies will hand off the card and the data will be input by KPMG for analysis.

A direct feed will be provided to broadcast partners who can use the information to tell the stories of the best players in the world through a statistical lens.

“That’s one of the key things our KPMG team is going to work on over the next several months,” said Quill.
