Use to compare two players: every tournament both played with each one's finish, who finished ahead (making the cut beats missing it), round-by-round strokes on the same course, and a summary. Filter by season. Costs 5 credits.

Use for who is playing best: our strokes-versus-field rating for every player active in the past year, best first. A rating of 2.0 means two strokes a round better than an average player in the same fields, adjusted for field strength and weighted toward recent rounds. Pass as_of for the ratings on a past date. Costs 2 credits.

Use for a season's leaders in one stat, with each player's sample. Stats from rounds and holes: scoring_average, vs_field, adj_vs_field, birdies_per_round, bogey_avoidance, par3_average, par4_average, par5_average, and sg_par3, sg_par4, sg_par5 (strokes versus the field on par 3, 4 or 5 holes, field-strength adjusted; PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour only, score-based, not shot data). From results: earnings, cup_points, wins, top_tens. From ESPN's tournament lines (PGA Tour from 2011): driving_distance, driving_accuracy, greens_in_regulation, putts_per_gir. Costs 5 credits.

Use for the pre-tournament winner prices of the four men's majors by sportsbook, and how they moved: for each golfer and book the opening price (the first snapshot) and the latest price before the first round, with the implied probability, from The Odds API (the archive for every major from 2021 plus the 2020 U.S. Open, then refreshed daily while a major's market is open, every six hours in tournament week). For past majors the latest price can be up to a week before the first tee time; round, matchup and finishing-position markets are not held. Pass tournament_id, or season (all four majors), or player_id (one golfer across the majors). Costs 5 credits.
