PGA Tour professionals need an array of skills and tools to get the job done in the biggest tournaments but few grab headlines like the longest hitters and their choice of driver.
Here we take a look at what the PGA Tour’s longest hitters use off the tee.
10. Max Greyserman: 312.2 yards
Max Greyserman uses the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max with a Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6 X shaft. The Ai Smoke TD MAX is a tour developed model that blends the benefits of the MAX construction with the workability and control of the Triple Diamond design.
Driver: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max (9 degrees)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6 X
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord
9. Alejandro Tosti: 312.3 yards
Alejandro Tosti deploys a Srixon ZX5 Mk II LS driver off the tee. The Srixon ZX5 LS Mk II is a golf driver that builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Srixon ZX5. The new version features several enhancements aimed at improving distance, accuracy, and forgiveness, making it an excellent choice for golfers looking to take their game off the tee up a notch.
Driver: Srixon ZX5 Mk II LS (9.5 degrees @10.5)
Shaft: Project X HZRDUS T1100 75 6.5
Grip: Golf Pride MCC Plus4
8. Taylor Pendrith: 312.5 yards
Taylor Pendrith can hit long bombs with his Ping G430 LST. If you generate a lot of clubhead speed and rely on a more penetrating trajectory, the 440cc LST accelerates ball speed with reduced spin, key contributors being a new Carbonfly Wrap and a newly optimized face.
Driver: Ping G430 LST (9 degrees)
Shaft: Accra TZ Six ST
Grip: Golf Pride MCC
7. Chris Gotterup: 313.8 yards
Chris Gotterup makes use of a TaylorMade SIM2 driver. The SIM2 driver is a well-rounded modern boom stick off the tee, with exceptional distance and feel while also offering a good amount of forgiveness and adjustability.
Driver: TaylorMade SIM2 (9 degrees @7.5)
Shaft: Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 70 TX
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord
6. Wyndham Clark: 314.5 yards
Wyndham Clark slams them down the fairway with his Titleist TSR3 equipped with a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 6.5 TX shaft. If you have a consistent impact site, the Titleist TSR3 is your passport to peak driving performance. The revolutionary Speed Ring Face Technology generates a concentrated point of pure speed that can be precisely adjusted to meet your point of contact.
Driver: Titleist TSR3 (9 degrees, D1 SureFit setting)
Shaft: Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 6.5 TX (45 inches)
Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord
5. Min Woo Lee: 315.0 yards
Min Woo Lee has come close to mastering the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond S off the tee. The Paradym Triple Diamond Driver is a compact, 450cc shape designed for better players who want to work the ball. It’s the lowest spinning and lowest launching Paradym model with a neutral ball flight.
Driver: Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond S (10.5 degrees @9.5)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 X
Grip: Grip Master
4. Kevin Dougherty: 316.8 yards
Kevin Dougherty makes use of a TaylorMade Qi10 with his version being the LS or low-spin variant. Qi10 LS delivers a lower spin and lower launch that is engineered to optimize performance for fast swing speed players. With a deep face and a more compact overall head shape, it is the preferred driver for several Team TaylorMade Tour athletes.
Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 LS
Shaft: Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green RDX 70 6.5
Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet
3. Byeong Hun An: 317.1 yards
Byeong Hun An hits the ball a mile, well not quite, but the Titleist TSR4 is his weapon of choice. If excess spin is the enemy, Titleist TSR4 is the answer. It offers two different spin reduction settings, improved aerodynamics and our new Multi-Plateau VFT face construction – all housed in a compact, 430cc player-preferred shape.
Driver: Titleist TSR4 (9 degrees)
Shaft: Fujikura Motore X F1 6 X
Grip: Lamkin UTx
2. Rory McIlroy: 320.2 yards
Rory McIlroy also uses the TaylorMade Qi10 but favours the standard iteration. Wrapped in a clean and confident package, the Qi10 driver has been strategically engineered to help players optimize distance and enhance forgiveness.
Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 (9 degrees @8.25)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X (45 inches)
Grip: Golf Pride MCC
1. Cameron Champ: 320.7 yards
The tour’s longest driver uses a Ping G430 LST off the tee. If you generate a lot of clubhead speed like Champ and rely on a more penetrating trajectory, the 440cc LST accelerates ball speed with reduced spin. Key contributors to that dropoff in spin being a new Carbonfly Wrap and a newly optimized face featuring Spinsistency, combining for longer drives with a more pleasing impact experience.
Driver: Ping G430 LST (10.5 degrees @10)
Shaft: Mitsubishi 1K Red 60 TX (tipped 1 inch)
Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet
