What are the odds? An in-depth look at how golf feats compare to other sports

How does the incidence of golf feats compare across various levels of the game and to other pro sports? We asked Golf Digest Professional Advisor Lou Riccio, Ph.D., our resident stats aficionado, to dig into the data. He found some fascinating comparisons, like a 5-handicapper making a par (45 percent of the time) is like Rory McIlroy hitting a drive longer than 320 yards (47%), and a 12-handicapper making a birdie (5%) is like Caitlin Clark draining three 3-pointers in a row (5%).

Check out all the numbers below. You'll gain a new appreciation for performance on the course and off.
