PGA TOUR Top 10: All-Time Long Hitters

[@crimdell]

Daly should have been #1. He finished #1 in driving distance almost as many times as Jack finished in the top-10 in that category.

[@cjs83172]

Well, everyone seems to have forgotten a man from the 1960s named George Bayer. Bayer was a mountain of a man who was the game's longest hitter back then, routinely hitting drivers of 350+ yards with far less technology, wood-headed drivers, and much slower conditions than what is used today. Bayer was not very successful on the PGA Tour, so he's largely forgotten about, but all things considered, I believe George Bayer is the longest hitter of the golf ball the PGA has ever had, even longer than John Daly in his prime.

[@buckfan1969]

***** I remember Bayer, and I believe you're right. Further proof that distance isn't the most important factor. Nicklaus was not only long; he was in the fairway most of the time. I used to live near Muirfield, and would go and watch the practice rounds; it cost about $10 and it was more fun than the tournament with the pros fooling around and trying different things. Watched Nicklaus in a practice round one day; he was 60 at the time but was still hitting an iron into the uphill, 505 yard 15th hole. Still the best, imho.

[@cjs83172]

Remember that Nicklaus reached the par-5 18th hole at Pebble Beach in 2 on his final U.S. Open hole in the second round of the 2000 U.S. Open. And Nicklaus never tried to go for that green in two, though he always had the firepower to do so. (Failing to try to go for that green may have cost him the a chance to win the 1977 PGA Championship at Pebble Beach, which Lanny Wadkins won in a playoff over Gene Littler, with Nicklaus finishing one shot out of the playoff.) And to add to your point about how straight Nicklaus often hit it. In the 1965 Masters film, which I have but can't upload due to copyright, Chris Schenkel, who narrated that film, referred to Nicklaus as the "longest, straight driver" in the history of the game. And yes, there is one, and only one that can be considered the best ever, and that is Jack Nicklaus. And what sets him apart is not just the 18 majors (and 19 runner-ups in majors, which many overlook), but the caliber of the players he had to go against, and the sheer number of legendary players he had to go up against, which are simply too many to mention.

[@crimdell]

***** Yes, Nicklaus is the GOAT, but he is not the longest hitter of all time. That is what this video is about. Long? Yes. LongEST? Definitely not.

[@cjs83172]

No, but's he's up there, especially the heavier version of Nicklaus from the 1960s. As I said, I believe George Bayer was the longest hitter in the history of the game, especially when you consider the equipment he played with in the 1950s and 60s, because he was hitting it as far as the guys now do with far better technology and equipment. However, I do think that Nicklaus was the longest straight driver in the history of the game.

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Fred Couples has such a beautiful swing

[@littlebucks912]

I played in a Jr golf tournament championship through the Titleist tour in the 90s. I was fortunate enough to play at TPC Sawgrass for our end of the year championship during a practice round, my fav golfer ever, Couples, played hole 16 with my group. He was so amazing taking time with us, and it made me love golf even more.

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

@@littlebucks912 fantastic to hear, what an experience and it's no surprise he is a great guy tbh!

[@littlebucks912]

@QenaitheCustodianGuard I was thrilled to birdie in front of Couples playing hole 16. However, I was so glad that he didn't see me hit the little bunker on 17, causing me to bogey.

[@pedrosmith1525]

I would like to see some of the older guys with the new equipment we have today.

[@deuce4off]

Jack Nicklaus would be ridiculous

[@FatherJoel]

Greg Norman said in a recent interview that he'd be hitting it 340 today no worries. I don't doubt it.

[@johnnypenso9574]

Jack won the 1963 PGA Long Drive contest at 341 yards with the old persimmon woods and balls of the day. At the 1966 Open Championship in admittedly favourable wind and course conditions, Jack hit the 530 yd par 5 17th in 2 shots...with a 3 and 5 iron.

[@larry45044]

agree

[@andyhodgson7692]

It's crazy how far Nicklaus used to hit with the old equipment. He once drove through the back of the green on the par 4 18th at St. Andrews when he won the Open. The balls they were using at the time were rubbish too, I remember as a kid using those old Dunlop 65 balls that were popular in the 1960's and 1970's. They went nowhere compared to modern golf balls.

[@thehockeykid7979]

Love watching Sam Sneads swing. Just amazing

[@shredx81]

[@parkerbohnn]

[@peterhammer4644]

good list but Daly at nr 1 and Jack at nr 2 would have been perfect

[@gblago1]

Sam Snead said, "The problem with most amateurs is they're standing too close to the ball after they hit it".

[@roryforham]

john daly is quite possibly the most underated and most loved player of all time the man's wood and iron play was in a different league he has said he doesnt have the feel on the greens that tiger has but he doesnt practice anywhere near like most pros do. he just has fun and who can blame him with the life he has had true gent i love the bloke

[@dancooper5714]

I went to the big PGA tour event at Torrey Pines San Diego in 2011. watched many 'name' players tee off the 1st and 10th tee on North course; Dustin Johnson,Bubba,Mickleson,BooWeekly,etc. when they each hit there was just polite clapping. then Daly (who had slimmed down to his best ever shape) walked up and slammed one 360 yards right down the middle. Crowd goes Crazy!

[@ram0666]

When you say anywhere near like other pros, what does that mean? Do you mean time,weights or certain practice program?. Before Daly broke onto the scene and won a major out of nowhere, im sure he dedicated as much time and effort into his game just for the sake he was hungry and broke. For years now after making tons of money,he loves to gamble drink and chase women. He may do things different in the last 20 years but he got where he got by being dedicated and putting tons of effort into that game.

[@Threepi80]

04:00, the best swing on youtube. Great sound, and an example of how important relaxing your transition from back- to downsswing really is...

[@marcostisanifrancadanese3076]

Sounded like a damn whip

[@chobeeboy44]

Can you imagine if the guys back then had today's clubs? Jack drove 300 yards all the time with steel shaft woods! Amazing!

[@bigdasu83]

Sam Snead needs to be higher on this list. He’s the first player to average over 260 yards off the tee.

[@blacklionengineer3274]

An they never even mentioned Mike Austin either.

[@whoozbi]

I would love to see sadlowski make the tour then be on here using a 2 iron.

[@TrueSunGodRa]

finally, someone who makes my distance sound realistic. I'm 14 and hit for the same distance. the one thing I don't like about it is that there aren't many holes I can use my driver on so I can't use it much.

[@stradley_]

Put Sam Snead in this golf generation, it's a 330+ drive every tee shot

[@parkerbohnn]

Era for era Jim Dent should be ranked #1 yet he isn't even in the top ten in this video.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy are ridiculous omissions, and among the old-timers--Tom Weiskoff. Could absolutely crush it with the most beautiful looking swing the tour's ever seen. Even Nicklaus said he couldn't drive it with Tom.

[@bailinnumberguy]

With the exception of J.B. Holmes, this is really a list of great golfers who were very long hitters. All of them are major winners and among the best to ever play the game. If there was a long driving competition with all of them in their prime using the same equipment I think the 21 year old Tiger would win it. I've stood behind Norman, Love, Couples, Daly, Woods at a driving range and tee boxes at tour events. From behind the tee it was hard to follow the flight of Tiger's ball; it exploded off his club face so fast and got so high that it was just awesome to see (or barely see).

[@dupevision7937]

I agree.I've seen most these players on the list drive the ball and Tiger is a gun off the tee especially young Tiger.The more older he got the less he relied on his long range instead opted to work more on keeping the drive on the fairway.

[@claymiller925]

+amanda lambert Tiger's fastest swing vs JD's fastest swing, Tiger is faster IMO. Thing about Tiger is that he never maxed out on any of his swings. I bet in his prime he could swing upwards of 135 mph if he really went at it, not like he'd ever need to though.

[@lambert1702]

+Clay Miller You don't think Tiger was going all out in a skins game on a par five with JD? Tiger has never hit 135 in his life -- he is not a long drive guy. Daly was longer back then and there is video out there to prove it.

[@ThomasRealDealPercy]

im 17 and won the long drive today at a tournament with 323 yards..... i only way 130 pounds and im 5'10 im very athletic and FLEXIBLE....it doesn't matter how old or big you are it's all in the swing

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Agree. When I was 17 I was very long too. But I was buffed--kinda similar body and swing like Nicklaus. There was one guy in our league that could hit it with me. String bean with a really long swing and very fast hips. I used to call him the rubber band.

[@monsski4151]

Four things I learned reading and emulated watching in golf swings: the backswing, hip movement, wrist pronation, and finish. 1. Daly has probably got the most vertical top of the backswing. Club almost points to the ground. The coil is tremendous. 2. The hip movement initiates the downswing. Ben Hogan has got to be the best in this despite his body size. 3. Wrist pronation upon contact demands the utmost timing. A tad late, you push that ball or fade. A tad early, you pull or hook it. Again Ben Hogan has got that down pat. 4. The finish actually doesn't matter. But Couples' club resting on the back of the body is elegant. Although I don't know how kind that will be to the body. Nor the abrupt stop at 3 quarter after impact. At any rate, Ben Hogan should also be there. His premise is: swing speed is generated from the lower body to recoil the upper. And for his realatively smaller frame, he hit those balls pretty far.

[@ram0666]

What does body size have to do with the hips initiating the downswing? Just being smaller has no effect on hip movement.

[@chrismorfas7515]

It's the first time I've seen that last swing of Jack's starting at 5:57. It's a fabulous display of his controlled power.

[@pederlettstroem980]

Young Jack Nicklaus is the man. Slammin' Sam is power.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Watched Norman on the PGA West driving range warming up for a skins match years ago. At one point he was hitting 1 irons about 260 yards that climbed high and landed like wedges in a small grouping the size of a normal swimming pool. Impressive.

[@athendemosh8001]

Greg norman was phenomenal!

[@anthonywillis7634]

John Daley has the best wind up of all time. Always crazy watching big bad John hit a golf ball! Still winds up exactly the same today!

[@Perryfan001]

Nicklaus, in his time was known to give up the driver and hit something that would accommodate his approach to the green. However, he was known to be equally as long than the average hitter in his time just with the dreaded 1 iron.

[@viola0shredder]

cool story bro, I'm 17 5'5 weigh 138 and average 260 off the tee. But the thing is that I won three tournaments shooting 70, 69, and 68-74 this year. distance is not everything, accuracy IS.

[@evoben24]

You guys forgot Dustin Johnson

[@bradttu15]

+Benjamin Navarro DJ, Brooks koepka, gary woodland are all longer than j.b. holmes.....smh

[@joec.743]

that was 2012 duh

[@chrisdwyeratlweb5739]

Correct but Kuekne was the longest ever.

[@joec.743]

Hank was pretty a long hitter he said he wasn't afraid of tigers length back then but daly was another story

[@petereuropa]

I like this video very much. I can of course never challenge these stars, but I must be better. This video is a challenge for me to hit longer and more accurate. Thanks.

[@supergenius3729]

on a non-windy day, i hit 450 yards with a 9-iron. i really don't use a Driver.

[@ghanninen]

This top 10 showing which is a pretty good showing of some of the best longer drivers in golf, really shows that the 7 out of 10 are much stronger and powerfull thus getting their distence. The three I left out are Davis, Bubba , and Couples who creat great depth/width and use their bodies to their best of there abilities!

[@ram0666]

Every single player on this list has a body turn well past 90 degrees..Natural strength only gets you so far.The big hitters all have explosive power which in golf is more important than brute power.Ever single player on this list is explosive which is a product of flexibility, proper weight transfer, having the type of efficiency to maximize loading the club as well as club head speed.

[@Simon-nv5zj]

better title would have been "best drivers of the ball"

[@Tikiman03]

How about Mike Austin? This video is based on players that have achieved success while hitting it long. They have to be popular in order to get recognition.

[@renebautista7185]

Tikiman03 I totally agree. Mike Austin hit a 515 yard drive, 65 yards past the the green on a par 4 in Las Vegas in the Senior Tour. He was 64 years old. That record still holds today.

[@patricksmith4992]

Nicklaus was the longest of his day trust me.and not with no tennis sized headed club like today but with a sweet spot the size of a pea.

[@gmmay70]

What many people don't understand about Jack is that he could dial it up to 320 with persimmon clubheads and steel shafts, but only if his course management plan called for it. He didn't try to go out there and overpower the hole like most of the long hitters today. That's why you don't see any modern players racking up Jack's win numbers - you can't be nearly as consistent when you're trying to bomb every single drive.

[@EclecticSausage]

I only have the putter in the bag - when you hit 600 yd draws off the tee who needs any more clubs?

[@ti84satact12]

When Augusta National has to change the course to keep it competitive, you know you're long. It's similar to the NCAA banning the dunk when Kareem was a freshman.

[@TheNYgolfer]

Mike Austin's 515 yard drive at the U.S. Nationals Senior tournament in 1974. The drive was done on level ground, using a persimmon wood driver with 10 degrees of loft and a 43.5" extra-stiff steel shaft, the ball was a soft balata and Mike Austin was 64 years old. Suck on that Davis Love...lol Since they deleted another comment I made I'm editing this comment to include the deleted comment in a more gentle manner..lol The record for longest drive average in a FULL SEASON , in any PGA Tour category, is currently set at 321.4 yards. Todays date is 10-29-2020. That record looks like it will be broken this season by a very beefed up Bryson Dechambeau, by maybe a yard or 2. Until such time however, the record stands and it was set by Hank Kuehne back in 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEFORE water melon sized titanium drivers with sweet spots the size of Texas.

I would have Greg Norman at Number 1, his distance combined with how many times he stayed on the fairway, are the best there's been. The others were as long, or longer, but missed the fairway more times too.

[@cjs83172]

Isn't it interesting that they did a top ten list on the biggest hitters all-time, yet they left off the man that might have been the biggest hitter in the history of the game. Back in the 1960s, there was a man named George Bayer, who hit the ball father with far less technology, not to mention wood-headed drivers and slower golf courses, than almost everyone does today. Bayer didn't have much success on the PGA Tour, so he's largely forgotten, but I'm not sure anyone, even John Daly, was as big a hitter as Bayer was, all things considered.

Jeff S I think that if a strong enough woman had a good technique, she could challenge the men in long drive. Unfortunately, such a woman doesn't usually play golf. The longest hitter of the women last year, Brittany Lincicome, averaged 271 yards...that would not have broken the top 100 on the PGA tour (Bubba Watson averaged 310 yards last year.

[@gmmay70]

Jack could hit hit 320 on command with persimmon and steel shafts. He just chose not to do it on every drive.

[@wx811]

Jack stayed around 250 yards. Anyone claiming someone can hit a balata ball with persimmon woods 300 yards is making stuff up. Even Jack said in his book he couldn't get past 270 without straining. He said 250 is max. He also said that a 300 yard drive was only hit downhill, downwind, or with rock hard fairways, or all of the above. Not to mention Weiskopf consistently outdrove him.

gilceezy I'm in my mid 60's now. Was never better than about a 14 handicap. Still about a 14 handicap now, but don't hit the ball nearly as far as I did 30 years ago. Driving distance is overrated, but I can tell you that a 400 yd Par 4 today is a lot more difficult when you can only hit it about 220-230 on your best drive. I've also found that the older a golfer is, the further they used to hit it. I'd guess in another 10 years I'll be claiming to hit 300 yard drives in my youth with a persimmon driver, but it would be a lie. At my best I was still only 260-270. The short game is where the strokes are, particularly if you learn to keep your drive in play.

Think about the time difference, and technology in the golf ball and the golf clubs

[@TheSmartjackson]

if they make this video in 10 years again im sure Mcilroy will be there. Its more about the fact almost all these players are unique and revolutionary and have competed at this level for a long time. Theres a good 10-20 kids on the PGAtour that bomb it 300 yards these days.

[@joagargo01]

How about Dechambeau?

What about hank kuehne?

Nice to see my fellow Scotsman, much better golfer and namesake Martin Laird featured in this vid

[@leoholmlund3181]

it's really funny to see someone like Fred Couples who is old, still drive it as long as Dustin Johnson at this years masters. Just interesting to see
