Strokes Gained
See exactly where you win and lose strokes — off the tee, approach, around the green and putting — measured against tour-level baselines.
Optivo turns your rounds into clear, honest data — shot-by-shot tracking, Strokes Gained against the PGA Tour, and a full World Handicap System index. Your stats, in your pocket, synced privately across your devices.
Some days you want a quick scorecard. Other days you want every shot. Optivo meets you where you are — and the deeper you log, the sharper the analysis gets.

Strokes Gained measures every shot against how a benchmark golfer would score from the same spot. A positive number means you gained ground; a negative one means you gave it back. Add it up and the pattern is obvious.
Optivo splits your game into the four categories that matter, and breaks approach and putting down by distance — so "my irons let me down" becomes "I'm losing strokes from 150–175 yards."
How Strokes Gained works →
Read it like a coach: this round, putting leaked the most strokes while the long game held up — so you know exactly where to spend range time.
Optivo runs the full WHS calculation locally: it computes score differentials, takes your best 8 of the last 20, applies the soft and hard caps, handles net double bogey adjustment and exceptional-score reduction, and shows your index moving over time.
Defaults to your Last 20 — the window the index is actually calculated from — or switch to All for the full history.
Strokes Gained shows where you lose shots. Insights shows why — and what each leak actually costs you.
A Sankey diagram traces every leaked and gained stroke from its category down to the exact distance or lie it came from. A mistake-cost breakdown separates clean execution from penalties and blown recoveries. And an "if you played like Tour" view shows the score you'd have shot without the leaks.
What Insights surfaces →
Each band links a category to the exact distance or lie behind it — the wider the flow, the more it cost you.
