The model provides live “Make Cut”, “Top 20”, “Top 5”, and “Win” probabilities every 5 minutes from the opening tee shot to the final putt of every PGA TOUR event. Briefly, the model takes account of the current form of each golfer as well as the difficulty of their remaining holes, and probabilities are calculated from 20K simulations.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Charley Hoffman has read this story before, but he’s hoping for a happy ending this time around. After a classy second round 1-under 69 at Shinnecock Hills on Friday, Hoffman moved into a tie for second place at even par, four shots adrift of leader Dustin Johnson. The 40-year-old has now put himself inside the top-10 on a major leaderboard at the halfway mark six times in his career including in four of the last six majors. But when the weekend comes, things have sadly gone backwards for the four-time PGA TOUR winner. Hoffman has only been in the top-10 through 54 holes three times and then has just two top-10 finishes through 72 holes in majors. He was tied for ninth at the 2015 Masters and finished eighth in last year’s U.S. Open. In his 16 career third rounds attempts only twice has he shot under par. “I can’t wait to see how I perform,â€� a confident Hoffman said. “I feel great as of right now. I enjoy the challenges that golf brings, and there’s going to be challenges out there tomorrow. “But mentally, I feel great right now, and hopefully I’m here late on Sunday.â€� Hoffman said he won’t be sucked in trying to aggressively chase down Johnson. He’s hopeful his game plan will be enough to wear the course down. He is keeping things simple – hitting fairways (22 through two rounds) and greens. His 25 greens rank seventh in the field and he’s sixth for proximity to the hole (36 feet). “You can’t play the player. First of all, Dustin plays a whole different golf game than I play … so I’m not going to play the guy. I’m just going to keep playing my game,â€� he said. “It doesn’t matter who it is. You’re going to try to hit fairways. Any of us who are trying to challenge … because if you don’t hit the fairway, you’re not getting to the green. “You really can’t be aggressive because you know the penalty if you don’t pull that shot off is so high. There’s not really an advantage to being aggressive out here. So it hasn’t really tempted me.â€�
