Methodology

How we track Break 50

Every number on this site is hand-tracked from the published episodes. For each round we log every shot the team played — who hit it, where it started, where it finished, and how far it went — then compute all scorecards, leaderboards, and records from that shot log. This page explains the format, the crediting rules, and exactly what each stat means.

The format

Break 50 is a scramble: every player hits, the team picks the best ball, and everyone plays the next shot from there. We log only the shots the team actually played on — the chosen ball on each selection — so a hole's score is the number of shots we log, matching the episode's on-screen scorecard. Most rounds are a duo (Bryson plus one guest); team episodes like Dude Perfect follow the same rules with more players.

Who gets credit for a shot

Each logged shot is credited to the player whose ball the team chose to play. Three situations get team credit instead of individual credit:

  • Gimme — a conceded tap-in. It counts as a stroke, but nobody "earned" it.
  • Equidistant — the balls finished so close together that the selection didn't favor either player.
  • Unclear — the episode didn't show whose ball was chosen.

Team-credited shots count toward the score but toward no player's personal numbers, and they appear as "?" chips in the hole-by-hole shot details. We'd rather leave a shot unattributed than guess.

The stats, defined

Shot Share
A player's credited shots divided by all logged shots in the round. Team-credited shots stay in the denominator, so shares won't always sum to 100%. This is the "who carried the round" number.
Yards Credited
The distances of a player's credited shots, added up. Putts measured in feet are converted at 3 feet to the yard. A 350-yard drive that gets picked moves the team 350 yards; that's the contribution this stat captures.
Solo hole
A hole where every logged shot is credited to the same player — they birdied or eagled it alone, tee to cup. A single gimme, equidistant, or unclear shot disqualifies the hole. Solo eagles and solo birdies are eagles and birdies on solo holes.
Shot types
Tee shots on par 4s and 5s are drives; only drives count for longest-drive records. A shot counts as a putt only when it's measured in feet on or around the green — a 40-yard hole-out is a chip or approach, not a putt, no matter how it's celebrated.
Walk-off
A round where breaking 50 was still on the table standing on the 18th tee — the team needed between 1 and 3 under par on the final hole. Not yet clinched, not out of reach.
Longest make
The longest shot that finished in the cup, ranked in yards across every round. Putts, chips, and hole-outs all qualify.

Distances and accuracy

Shot distances come from the episode itself — on-screen graphics, shot-tracer readouts, and the players' own callouts. When none of those are shown, we estimate from the broadcast and flag the distance as approximate in our data. Hole yardages (and the "yards played" totals on the courses page) are the per-hole numbers shown in the episodes, summed. Scores are cross-checked against the on-screen scorecard before an episode is published here.

Source and corrections

The only source is the published YouTube episodes — every round is watched and logged shot by shot. Break 50 Stats is a fan-built site, not affiliated with Break 50 or Bryson DeChambeau, and the official broadcast is always the authority.
