Top 10 LONGEST DRIVES of season so far: PGA Tour vs LIV Golf 2023
Check out the biggest hits of the season so far on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, as well as the drivers each of them has used.
The golf ball is going further than ever before (at least right now until golf's governing bodies take further action) and that is reflected none better than on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf this season.
Many of the biggest hits on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have been used with clubs that feature heavily in our Best Golf Drivers guide for 2023.
The PGA Tour has the edge in the driving distance battle, but more as a result of the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, which plays just shy of 8,000 feet above sea level.
Only one drive in the top 10 longest on the PGA Tour this season has come outside of the TOC courtesy of England's Harry Hall at the Texas Open.
To keep things a little fairer up against those on LIV Golf, we have also provided the top 10 biggest hits on the PGA Tour outside of the TOC.
Rory McIlroy, who tops the driving distance charts right now with a 326.2 yards average, features in that one with his TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver.
Let's crunch the numbers, and check out the drivers each player used in the process.
