PGA Tour Driving Accuracy 2023: Top 10 straightest hitters and their drivers

Who are the straightest hitters off the tee on the PGA Tour in 2023?

pga tour statistics driving accuracy

Interested to learn who the top 10 straightest hitters are on the PGA Tour right now? Well you've arrived at the right place as we crunch the stats and check out the drivers that each of them are using to split fairways with a great deal of regularity in 2023. 

Of the star names, Tom Kim and Collin Morikawa feature prominently, but they don't quite make top spot which is taken by a four-time winner.

Some of the world's best players rank well down the board though. 

PGA Tour Driving Accuracy 2023: Top 10 straightest hitters and their drivers

World No.1 Jon Rahm is down in 79th , while Rory McIlroy is in a lowly 167th . 

Scottie Scheffler , who is sandwiched between them at World No.2 right now, is performing much better in 23rd position. 

McIlroy, however, is running away with things when it comes to driving distance with his TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus driver .

Many of the drivers used by those in the Top 10 for driving accuracy feature heavily in our Best Golf Drivers guide for 2023.

For reference to the below figures, the current PGA Tour average for driving accuracy is 58.67% . 

Right, let's start at #10 and work our way down to #1:

LPGA Vs PGA Tour Pros - How The Stats Compare

We look at the 2023 stats for the PGA Tour and LPGA and see how the best of the men's and women's game compare in everything from driving to putting

How the PGA Tour and LPGA stats compare

The world of pro golf is littered with stats, almost every aspect of the game can now be measured in some way, and it makes interesting reading to compare the figures on the PGA and LPGA Tours.

With the upcoming golf ball rollback as reference as well, let's see what the main differences are in the stats categories for the main tours in the men's and women's games.

Driving distance

Breaking news, PGA Tour players hit it further than LPGA players do - I know, not exactly new information but a few little takeaways from the stats.

LPGA big hitter Polly Mack averages 10 yards further than the last placed Brian Stuard on the PGA Tour, and is within 20 yards of the PGA Tour average off the tee.

The top 10 in the women's game all managed to outdrive Staurd, with Lexi Thompson almost identical at just over 271 yards for her average off the tee.

And as Thompson showed playing on the PGA Tour that distance is almost good enough to make a cut, as she came agonisingly close to making the weekend.

Driving accuracy

Maybe due to slower swing speeds having more control, or more thought about placement off the tee with longer second shots, we've known for a while that finding fairways is a much bigger deal on the LPGA than the PGA Tour.

It's a criticism of the men's game at times, the 'bomb and gouge' argument that PGA Tour players just smash it as far as they can and then worry about it from there, and there certainly seems to be less emphasis on finding the short stuff.

Remarkably, the player finishing in dead last in the LPGA fairways found stats is only just below the PGA Tour average, while men's leader Russell Henley would rank exactly 100th in the women's game with his fairways found percentage.

Greens in regulation

Not much to split them here which is interesting, with LPGA stars playing from the fairway more often but likely further away than their PGA Tour counterparts - the women's leader Olivia Cowan only just edges out Scottie Scheffler .

There's a slightly lower floor on the LPGA but all in all similar numbers, so despite differences off the tee the men and women are both finding the dancefloor at around about the same rate.

So who's the best at getting out of the sand? Well, Matt Kuchar is head and shoulder above everyone really, as second-placed Justin Rose isn't too far ahead of Mi Hyang Lee.

From the LPGA list 31 players would be above average on the PGA Tour, and while again the floor is lower in terms of the bottom number in the women's game, only the top three in the men's ranks have a better sand save percentage than women's leader Lee.

Pretty close in the overall average number of putts taken per round, but only the top five on the LPGA list duck under the PGA Tour average.

There's a similar gap between top to bottom as well interestingly, with about three shots separating the top spot and last place in each standings.

Scoring average

Scottie Scheffler unsurprisingly leading the way after his ultra consistent season, and Ludvig Aberg showcased his ability by finishing ahead of Jon Rahm in the PGA tour standings.

There's a shot and a quarter between Scheffler and LPGA leader Atthaya Thitikul, while 24 players in the women's standings dip below the PGA Tour average. 

Overall, there are 72 players in the PGA Tour list who average under under 70 compared to seven on the LPGA.

Birdie average

We've put a 50-round minimum on the LPGA to match-up to the PGA Tour standings, and we see that there's not much at all between the leaders on their respective tours.

Ludvig Aberg again leads the way on the PGA Tour with less than half a birdie per round between him and women's leader Atthaya Thitikul.

There are 13 LPGA players who average over four birdies a round compared to 46 on the PGA Tour.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.

2024 PGA Championship odds, field: Surprising PGA picks from golf model that has hit 11 majors

Sportsline's proven model simulated the pga championship 2024 10,000 times and revealed its pga golf picks for valhalla golf club.

collin-morikawa-usatsi.jpg

The 2024 PGA Championship is quickly approaching, as Valhalla Golf Club gets set to host the world's top golfers beginning on Thursday, May 16. It's been a 2024 PGA Tour season marked by Scottie Scheffler asserting his dominance. The No. 1-ranked player in the world secured his second career major victory at the Masters and has finished on top of the leaderboard four times in 2024. He comes into the PGA Championship 2024 with momentum, but he'll be challenged by a loaded 2024 PGA Championship field that is stacked with fellow major champions, including Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth.

The latest 2024 PGA Championship odds list Scheffler as the 4-1 favorite. He's followed by Jon Rahm (9-1), McIlroy (10-1), Koepka (16-1) and Ludvig Aberg (16-1) on the PGA odds board. Tiger Woods, a 15-time major champion, is one of the 2024 PGA Championship longshots at 125-1. Before locking in any 2024 PGA Championship picks of your own, entering PGA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, or finalizing PGA Championship props and PGA Championship Pick Six entries, be sure to see the 2024 PGA Championship golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000.

The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 11 majors entering the weekend and hit the Masters three straight years. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now with the PGA Championship 2024 field taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

Top 2024 PGA Championship predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 PGA Championship: Brooks Koepka, a three-time PGA champion and one of the favorites, stumbles and doesn't even crack the top 10. Koepka has five major tournament wins on his resume and a reputation for elevating his level of play in big events. However, his last two major starts haven't gone well as he was 45th at the Masters, which followed a 64th-place finish at last year's Open Championship. He's failed to shoot par in each of his last seven rounds at major tournaments.

After notching three tournament wins in 2023, including last year's PGA Championship, it has been tough sledding for Koepka in 2024. He has no victories, or even top-fives, and across his six starts, he has three times as many finishes outside the top 25 (three) as he has inside the top 10 (one). He played Valhalla at the 2014 PGA Championship and finished in a tie for 15th place, but that placement ranks just eighth out of his 11 career PGA Championship starts.

Another surprise: Collin Morikawa, a 25-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Morikawa has the game to finish near the top of the leaderboard at Valhalla. The 27-year-old has won six times on the PGA Tour, which includes two major championships.

Morikawa also secured a third-place finish at the 2024 Masters and enters the 2024 PGA Championship ranked fifth in driving accuracy (77.61%), 23rd in birdie average (4.33) and 27th in one-putt percentage (42.80%). He ranks just 106th in greens in regulation percentage (65.02%), but if he's striking the ball well at Valhallal, he'll have a shot at winning another major championship.  See who else to pick here .

How to make 2024 PGA Championship picks

The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model's picks here .

Who will win the 2024 PGA Championship, and which longshots will stun the golfing world? Check out the PGA Championship 2024 odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected PGA Championship leaderboard, all from the model that's nailed 11 golf majors, including the last three Masters .

2024 Zurich Classic odds, field: Surprising PGA picks, predictions by model that's nailed 11 majors

Sportsline's proven model simulated the zurich classic of new orleans 2024 10,000 times and revealed its pga golf picks.

rory-mcilroy-pga-golf-getty-images.jpg

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay look to reclaim some team magic when they pair back up for the 2024 Zurich Classic. The PGA Tour's yearly team event tees off Thursday at TPC Louisiana in New Orleans, and 80 two-man teams will be in attendance for tee off on Thursday. Schauffele and Cantlay were the winning duo back in 2022 and they are the 5-1 favorites on the 2024 Zurich Classic odds board. Should you back this pair of California natives with your 2024 Zurich Classic picks? Or should you back Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry at 8-1 odds?

Will Zalatoris and Sahith Theegala are listed at 11-1 in the lastest 2024 Zurich Classic odds, and Collin Morkiawa and Kurt Kitayama follow at 16-1. Defending Zurich Classic champions Nick Hardy and David Riley are 80-1 longshots to have repeat success. Before making any 2024 Zurich Classic picks, be sure t o see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, and the RBC Heritage this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000.

The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 11 majors entering the weekend and hit the Masters three straight years. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the Zurich Classic 2024 field is finalized, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard .

Top 2024 Zurich Classic predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Zurich Classic 2024: McIlroy and Lowry, who've combined for 26 wins on the PGA Tour, barely crack the top five. McIlroy is set to play in his fourth consecutive event when he tees off at TPC Louisiana. He's failed to crack the top-10 in seven of his eight starts on the PGA Tour this season, while Lowry has finished T-19 or worse in six of his past eight events. 

Both players have struggled mightily on the green this season. McIlroy enters the 2024 Zurich Classic ranked 78th in strokes gained: putting (0.119) and 72nd in putting average (1.758), a big reason why he ranks 98th in scoring average (70.44). Lowry, meanwhile, ranks 99th in strokes gained: putting (-0.012) and 143rd in putts per round (29.38), which doesn't bode well for their chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. 

Another surprise: Rasmus Højgaard and Nicolai Højgaard, 35-1 longshots, make a strong run at the title. The twin brothers have a much better chance to win it all than their odds imply, so they're a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

The Danish twosome has been making headlines abroad for years now, becoming the first brothers to ever win events in consecutive weeks on the European Tour back in 2021. They are now making noise on the PGA Tour as Nicolai finished second at the Farmers Insurance Open back in January and finished T16 in his first ever Masters appearance earlier this month. Nicolai also played this event last year, so his experience makes the duo an under-the-radar competitor at the 2024 Zurich Classic.  See who else to pick here . 

How to make 2024 Zurich Classic picks

The model is also targeting three other teams with odds of 35-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model's picks here .

Who will win the 2024 Zurich Classic, and which longshots will stun the golfing world? Check out the Zurich Classic 2024 odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected Zurich Classic leaderboard , all from the model that's nailed 11 golf majors, including the last three Masters.

Field Size: 80 Teams

Cut: Top 33 Teams and Ties

Last Five Winners Of The Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Expected cut-line.

TPC Louisiana

7,425 Yards - Par 72 - Greens Bermuda

It is a tricky week for us at the Zurich Classic, as eighty teams will be competing for the title at TPC Louisiana. The top 33 and ties will get to tee it up all four days, with play getting split between a best-ball format on Thursday and Saturday and an alternate shot structure on Friday and Sunday.

While data isn't as easy to come by as a regular stop because of the lack of trackable data over the last handful of years at this event, I did pre-plug some totals on my DFS Rankings Wizard model to highlight how each tandem would best succeed from an optimal sense. It doesn't mean they necessarily make the right call when the situation arises, but there is a potential advantage to be found when the groups split their alternate shot breakdown correctly.

If you are trying to handicap this from a statistical perspective, over 29 percent of second shots should come from over 200 yards. However, this essentially is a tournament where you get freedom and extra room for aggressiveness during best ball and a lot more strategy from all involved when diving into alternate shot.

Let's Look At The Stats

Let's quickly run through how I built my model.

Weighted Strokes Gained: Total (30%)

Strokes Gained Total: Pete Dye (10%)

Strokes Gained Total: Over 7,400 Yards

Strokes Gained Total: TPC (10%)

Weighted Team Scoring (20%)

Weighted Team Birdie or Better (20%)

Total Number Of Top-10's Out Of The Six Categories: Two-Year Running Model

Total number of top-10's team.

I will dive deeper into what went into these totals later in the week on my podcast. If you aren't doing so already, you can follow Bettor Golf Podcast on X.

Fantasy Golf Lineup Picks for DraftKings (PGA DFS)

We have tons of great weekly PGA articles, DFS analysis, tools and DFS advice . Be sure to read our other fantastic articles regarding this week's event.

High-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

***There are five players priced above $10,000. Please remember that my DFS article is always a first look at the field. Opinions might shift as the week goes on, and I am more than happy to discuss anyone further on Twitter/X.

Pricing will give us the top four teams on the board in the order in which my model projected them this week.

I do think we have to be somewhat cognizant of ownership (good luck finding a pure takeaway from that answer), but I do have concerns that Schauffele/Cantlay will come in massively over-owned compared to the rest of the pack.

For me, this is likely a spot where I want to aggressively back McIlroy/Lowry and Theegala/Zalatoris in builds this week because of their ideal partnership pairings from a data perspective.

There wasn't a team in my model that topped McIlroy/Lowry when comparing their alternate shot format grade since McIlroy on the even holes and Lowry on the odds holes has the chance to provide the best of both worlds. We also get a high-end projection for best-ball formats because of the forceful nature of McIlroy's aggression.

That has the propensity to hurt him in most events, but a triple bogey will easily be excluded from the mix in the best ball stature of the contest if/when Lowry saves the day.

Did you know RotoBaller has a Premium DFS PGA subscription ? Like what you read today? You can show your support for Spencer by using the discount code TEEOFF when purchasing a PGA Premium Pass . You get 10% off and full access to all of our Premium PGA articles, DFS tools, and Lineup Optimizer! You also get access to weekly betting picks from Spencer Aguiar, one of the top betting minds in the industry.

Mid-Priced DraftKings DFS Players

$9,000 Range

I talked a little about my first outright bet in McIlroy/Lowry and will venture into my other play in that sector when diving into Nick Taylor/Adam Hadwin.

Taylor and Hadwin nearly took down the title here last season after shooting 28-under par and closing the weekend with a 64 and 63, respectively.

It is a good spot for the duo here again in 2024 since their top six projected "team grade" in my model got massively bolstered by their relatively high-end scoring marks for each format this week.

Taylor's expected proximity for the course has a chance to play well in alternate shot, and both possess a nice ceiling for birdie-making potential.

$8,000 Range

I had some intrigue on both Chan Kim/Doug Ghim and Davis Thompson/Andrew Novak, but I am going to go with the Thompson/Novak duo here since they possessed slightly more upside if they are able to put the pieces together.

My model ranked both Thompson and Novak in the top 25 for individual expected strokes gained total at this course, and we also got a top-six return for projected scoring at TPC Louisiana to increase that output further when combining their data.

Low-Priced DraftKings DFS Players To Consider ($7,000+)

Check out my model for everything in this section. There, you will get individual rankings on all players and be able to weigh the data to create your very own model when you make a copy. Please consider signing up for this tool that I am very proud to share with the public!

Chris Gotterup and Austin Eckroat graded well as a team because of their past Pete Dye and TPC success as individual players. When you add in the nice mixture of distance versus accuracy for the two thriving in one of those areas, you get a profile that can be very similar to that Riley/Hardy combination that won last season.

$6,000 Options To Consider

The limited data I have for Russ Cochran did present a questionable answer since Cole carried that team a lot with my metrics.

Instead of landing under the expected projection in my sheet that could have some flaws, I am going to go with a ball-striking duo of Smotherman and Meissner to be a surprise top-20 squad in Louisiana. There are some +275 prices out there for them to land in the top 20 that might have a little value to consider.

Favorite Play Each Section:

$10,000+ - Rory McIlroy/Shane Lowry

$9,000+ - Nick Taylor/Adam Hadwin

$8,000+ - Davis Thompson/Andrew Novak

$7,000+ - Chris Gotterup/Austin Eckroat

$6,000+ - Austin Smotherman/Mac Meissner
