Shriners Children's Open 2022: Course and current form stats

The PGA Tour has journeyed to Las Vegas to tee-up at one of the lowest-scoring venues on the calendar.

In 10 of the last 12 tournaments to be staged at TPC Summerlin, the winning score has been 20-under-par or greater.

And during the calendar year of 2021, only two venues - Waialae and Sedgefield - had a lower tournament stroke average than TPC Summerlin (see table below.)

Co-designed by Fuzzy Zoeller and Bobby Weed, TPC Summerlin has been a PGA Tour regular since 1992.

Initially one of three layouts to co-host this event, it later became one of two, before assuming exclusive rights in 2008.

Course Characteristics

Laid out approximately 2,700 feet above sea level, TPC Summerlin is located in the shadows of Red Rock Canyon.

The course has Bentgrass greens that are larger than the Tour average, as well as generously wide Bermuda grass fairways.

Summerlin was built to the west of Las Vegas city centre, close to Death Valley and in North America's driest desert - called Mojave.

Sand is more of an issue than greenside water which only comes into play on four holes - including each of the last three.

Surrounded by rugged desert terrain, TPC Summerlin offers plenty of birdie opportunities and is one of the easier venues for hitting greens in regulation. Therefore, having a hot putter will be essential this week.
