Yes, Putting. See the thread mentioned here and pretty much every other thread where this is discussed.
(Theoretically) 250' drive + 30' range= 2 on any hole shorter than 280', 3 on any hole shorter than 530', 4 on any hole shorter than 780', 5 for 1030'.
350' drive with less accuracy and 2 putts per hole (on average). 3 on 380' or less, 4 on a hole 730' or less, 5 on 1080' or less.
So the crossover point where driving is more important than putting (on this comparison) is at about 905'. And we all know that there are very few holes longer than that. Even on the longest courses in the world, there are (at a max) 6 holes that long. Mathematically, it is better to putt consistently. And it's a game of math.
