Based on Trackman data and player profiles, here’s a rough estimate of 4-iron carry distances for these players, assuming they exceed the PGA Tour average (209 yards):
- DeChambeau: ~230-240 yards
- Rahm: ~225-235 yards
- McIlroy: ~225-235 yards
- Scheffler: ~220-230 yards
- Finau: ~220-230 yards(
Conclusion
Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Tony Finau are among the PGA Tour players likely hitting their irons the longest, particularly long irons (3-iron, 4-iron), due to their high swing speeds, optimized equipment, and elite ball-striking stats. Their ability to carry long irons 220-240 yards, well above tour averages, gives them an edge on long approach shots. For precise distances, we’d need player-specific Trackman data, which isn’t publicly available.
