Fairway in Regulation

Most Common

Fairway in Regulation (FIR) is a golf statistic that measures how often a player successfully lands their tee shot on the fairway for par-4 and par-5 holes. Achieving FIR is crucial for maintaining good positioning, setting up the next shot, and improving overall course management.

Players who consistently hit FIR tend to have better control over their approach shots, increasing their chances of reaching the green in regulation (GIR) and lowering their scores. FIR percentage is often tracked in professional golf to analyze a player’s accuracy off the tee, helping coaches and analysts assess driving performance
