This has been well documented in golf and Utiliworld has run an article on it as well. There are statistics that bear this all out and it should be evident as people compare the number of golfers who get to 1000 with superior distance and ok putting vs the number of amazing putters who are short off the tee that distance is the driving factor here,
Here is Utiliworld's article with plenty of stats if anyone cares: https://discgolf.ultiworld.com/2018/03/08/saying-go-drive-dough-putt-show/
For my argument I don't care, because those stats are from two NT events with the best players in the world. If I'm a 350 max guy trying to reach 1000 rated, look for me at the 5,000 ft C-Tier, not the 10,000 ft NT. Remember, it's minimum distance to attain 1000, not to beat Ricky.
