Look for players to use a lower tee height this week in Hilton Head.
Why? Harbour Town has some of the narrowest fairways on the PGA Tour and the second-smallest average green size of any tour course. Unlike most weeks, accuracy is rewarded more than length. Changing your tee height (like Daniel Berger notably did at Bay Hill last month) can help control your dispersion, as we’ve shown in a MythBusters test. Hitting shots with varying tee heights, the lowest height produced shots that went 10 yards straighter, on average, compared to a high tee.
Players will give up some carry distance, but with Hilton Head experiencing drought conditions recently, they’ll make up for it on the roll—not to mention better accuracy.
