The PGA Tour’s last wrap-around season has concluded. There are only two full-field events left before the Tour goes on holiday.
The PGA Tour’s driving average was 299.8 miles per measured teeshot last season. This is a season-ending record, up 3.6 yards over 2021’s average 296.2. Cameron Champ was the PGA Tour’s leader in driving distance at 321.4 yards. Rory McIlroy was 0.1 yards behind. All 99 golfers had a driving distance average over 300 yards.
While distance is an important component of effectiveness off the Tee, accuracy and how far you are from the flag play a significant role. Strokes Gained Off the Tee is the best way to measure effectiveness. It factors all of these things and shows how much advantage a player (measured in strokes). These players were ranked among the top 10 in Strokes Gained Off the Tee at the end the PGA Tour’s 2021-22 seasons. They also included the drivers they used at the time.
