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.

"Trackman data", bears absolutely no relation to PGA Tour performance. Trackman is a ball flight monitor, that is not used (alone) to generate PGA Tour statistics. It's part of the process & used primarily for "viewer enhancement".
ShotLink is the technology that measures actual PGA Tour Event shots. Different process, different technology, different results, different motivation and not simulated ... it's real life.
If you'd like access to direct ShotLink Data, get yourself a subscription to Data Golf APi. If you'd like access to Trackman data, that's available too, but that data isn't PGA Tour real data.
As for Rory, he hits his 4 Iron 225-230 yards? Funny how he hit his 3 Iron onto the 8th Green today, when it was playing 301 yards. 71 Yard gap between his 4 iron and 3 Iron is a fairly large gap, huh?
