I’d love to be able to download a player’s full round-by-round scores and True SG going back to their amateur days (basically the bars in a player’s profile page. I know this can be scraped from the source code but it would be great to be able to download like you can other information on the site.

I fully agree with that request. Anything added to the downloadable history is a big Plus.
You can do this – albeit with some work, which I’ve done – via the API (scratch members only) by combining the raw round scoring with the weekly rankings to get True SG
I agree it could be more user friendly.
Okay, noted. It is something we are considering.
Thanks egeorgio. I thought about getting the SG of each player at the time of the tournament by fetching some the player’s historical data. I did not actually look whether it existed, but I suppose it does. So at least there is that.
This said, unlike I am mistaken, this method won’t give the modified SG used for that particular tournament/player, which includes adjustments for course fit / course history fit and I believe something else (I forgot what is is but I recall there is something else). And possibly the adjustment for weather too. Ideally all these adjustments would be available in the pre-tournament predictions archives in one download.
Many thanks Matt for considering this.
