Yearly Scrambling Leaders on Champions Tour

The Scrambling statistic in professional golf, also known as Scrambling Percentage, tells us how good golfers are at chipping it close and sinking the following putt. And the golfers on the following list are the ones who led the Champions Tour in Scrambling at the end of each season.

The Champions Tour (the PGA Tour's senior tour) has kept the Scrambling stat since 1992. Scrambling Percentage is defined as the the percentage of time a player misses the green in regulation, but still makes par or better. Golfers who miss the green but still scramble to make par are ones who are resourceful and who have strong short games.
