Overview

In the season-long Aon Risk Reward Challenge, the best strategic decision makers on the LPGA and PGA Tours are rewarded for how they perform while playing several of golf’s most famous risk-reward holes at certain key tournaments throughout the season. We sat down with some of golf’s biggest stars to find out their plan of attack for certain Aon tournament challenge holes, and they walked us through their yardage books.

Episode 1: Tony Finau and the par-5 18th at TPC Twin Cities

What does it take to reach a risk-reward par 5 around water in two? According to Tony Finau, threading the needle off the tee so that you’re left with a short iron into the green. The finishing hole at TPC Twin Cities puts his theory to the test.

Episode 2: Xander Schauffele and the par-5 16th at TPC Southwind

Xander Schauffele considers the par-5 16th at TPC Southwind in Memphis a prime scoring opportunity.

Episode 3: Yu Liu and the par-5 18th at Seaview Golf Club

Few finishing holes in professional golf set up for more drama than the 507-yard 18th at the Seaview Golf Club in Galloway, N.J., home of the LPGA Tour's Shoprite Classic. Here, Tour star Yu Liu talks about the importance of taking all the variables into consideration (especially the wind) on a hole like this, which is decidedly reachable in two but can spell disaster if you don't thread the needle off the tee.
