Rory McIlroy crushed it as the PGA Tour’s longest driver in 2022-23, leading the circuit in average driving distance. This was a comeback for McIlroy, who last topped the Tour in that category in 2018 with an average of 319.7 yards per drive. Cameron Champ and Bryson DeChambeau had held the top spot for two seasons each since then.
