These 24 golf holes measured more than 600 yards during the 2024 PGA Tour season

There were 738 holes used in tournament play during the 2024 season.

Of the 738 holes used in competition during the PGA Tour’s 2024 season, 24 of them stretched beyond 600 yards, with one of them just 23 yards shy of 700 (and no, it wasn’t one of those playing at high altitude).

Castle Pines, which hosted the BMW Championship, has three holes on this list. Not too surprising, considering that course plays at 6,400-foot elevation.

Grand Reserve Club (Puerto Rico Open), TPC San Antonio Oaks Course (Valero Texas Open), Vidanta Vallarta (Mexico Open at Vidanta), Puntacana Resort and Club Corales Course (Corales Puntacana Championship) each had two holes on this list.

The U.S. Open and the Open Championship each had one here. The Masters and the PGA, however, didn’t register among the men’s majors with holes more than 600 yards.

Here’s the list of 24 golf holes that played more than 600 yards in 2024:

Just missing out on being the 25th hole to measure more than 600 yards is the fourth at Royal Troon for the 2024 Open Championship, which officially came in at 599 yards.

Longest drivers on PGA Tour since 1980 include Dan Pohl, John Daly, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy

This is the list of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour for each season since 1980, when the stat was first kept.

Who are the longest drivers on the PGA Tour?

They’ve been keeping stats on average driving distances since 1980.

In 2003, the mark of 321.4 yards was achieved by Hank Kuehne and was the standard-bearer for almost two decades. During the 2019-20 season, Bryson DeChambeau broke Kuehne’s 17-year-old mark. One year later, DeChambeau broke his own mark.

Go back to 1997, where John Daly was the first to surpass the average distance of 300 yards. In all, Daly led the Tour in driving distance 11 times.

Being a big hitter doesn’t always lead to victory. Only eight golfers on this list won a PGA Tour event in the same year they led in driving. In case you were wondering, neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson ever led the Tour in driving distance.

This is the list of the longest drivers starting in 1980 through the 2024 regular season at the Tour Championship.

Some of the key PGA Tour statistical categories where Scottie Scheffler ranked first in 2024

“It’s been a great year. I’m proud of the results.”

Scottie Scheffler’s 2024 PGA Tour season will go down in the record books as one of the best.

In fact, he entered rarified air this year, drawing comparisons to some of the best seasons ever by one of the best golfers, Tiger Woods.

Scheffler remains atop the standings in the Official World Golf Ranking. He finished the year first in the FedEx Cup standings after winning the Tour Championship. He’s leading the U.S. team standings for the upcoming Presidents Cup.

Aha. Found one. He’s second to Xander Schauffele in the latest U.S. team standings for the Ryder Cup.

All kidding aside, that’s one of the few things Scheffler is not No. 1 in 2024. Here are the main categories where he did finish first.

Victories	7
Top 10s	16
Official Money	$29,228,357
Percentage of available money won	51.02
Scoring average	68.645 (Tour average 71.118)
Birdie average	4.88 (Tour average: 3.76)
Greens in regulation percentage	73.16 (Tour average: 65.69)
Shots gained: Total	2.496
Shots gained: Approach the green	1.269
Most rounds in the 60s	49

PGA Tour stats guru Justin Ray has a good one.

Fewest days between 1st and 13th career PGA Tour wins, since 1960:

Scottie Scheffler: 931
Jack Nicklaus: 1,029
Tiger Woods: 1,113
Johnny Miller: 1,225

“It’s been a great year. I’m proud of the results,” Scheffler said after the Tour Championship. “It’s something I try not to focus too much on, but at the end of the day, being able to win tournaments is a great feeling, and it’s what we work towards, and to be able to have as many wins as I have this year is really special.”

A closer look at some of the stat leaders for the 2022-23 PGA Tour season

If you’ve been to the Tour’s stats page, you know it’s a rabbit hole where golf nerds can spend hours.

The Tour Championship is in the rearview mirror and with that, the PGA Tour has closed the book on its statistics for the 2022-23 season. If you’ve been to the Tour’s stats page, you know it’s a rabbit hole where golf nerds can spend hours exploring the numbers.

There are plenty of eye-popping numbers, including the massive increase in earnings, but many will use these stats to determine the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year.

For example, Jon Rahm had the most wins (4), with Viktor Hovland winning the final two stops of the year to finish second with three victories. There were seven others, including Scottie Scheffler, another POY candidate, with two wins.

But it was Scheffler who dominated many of the Tour’s stats this season. He finished first in the Official World Golf Ranking, FedEx Cup regular-season standings, Ryder Cup standings as well as all of these categories:

Shots gained: Off the tee
Shots gained: Approach the green
Shots gained: Tee-to-green
Shots gained: Total
Greens in regulation percentage
Scoring average
Bogey avoidance

Let’s take a look at some of the more interesting statistical leaders on the PGA Tour for the 2022-23 season. Many of these will seem obvious, but there’s probably a few here that are surprising.

Dan Pohl to Cameron Champ: Longest drivers on PGA Tour, 1980-2019

This is the list of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour, which started tracking the stat in 1980. The list is through the 2018-19 season.

Earlier this spring, there was considerable chatter surrounding distance gains in golf after the U.S. Golf Association and R&A released their Distance Insights Report. That prompted us to take a closer look at the players who have led the PGA Tour in driving distance.

This is the list of the longest drivers starting in 1980 – the first year the Tour started measuring drives – through the 2018-19 season.

John Daly in 1997 was the first to surpass the average distance of 300 yards. Daly led the Tour in driving distance in 11 seasons.

In 2003, Hank Kuehne became the first and only Tour player to average more than 320 yards per drive with 321.14. It was a jump of almost 15 yards from Daly’s average the year before.

Eighteen golfers have led this list over the last 40 years, with Daly appearing at the top more times than any other player. Bubba Watson is next with five distance titles. Others to have led the Tour in driving average more than one season include Dan Pohl, John McComish, Davis Love III, Hank Kuehne, Robert Garrigus, J.B. Holmes and Rory McIlroy.

Being a big hitter doesn’t always lead to victory lane. Only six of the 18 won a Tour event in the same year that they led in driving average: Daly, Watson, Garrigus, Dustin Johnson, McIlroy and Cameron Champ.

It’s interesting to note that neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson has ever led the Tour in driving distance.

Take a look at the year-by-year longest drivers on Tour.
