Of the top 180 PGA golfers, 96 average 300+. Golfers ranked 97-180 average below 300 yards.
The shortest hitter is Brian Campbell who “only” averages 275.3 yards. However, he won the Mexican Open in February winning $1.26 million.
The interesting thing about that victory is that Campbell won in a playoff against Aldrich Potgieter who is the longest driver on the tour.
