Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2025: How to watch, PGA schedule, more

The PGA event runs Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, and fans can stream on ESPN+.

The Longest Golf Shot Ever

The longest recorded golf drive in competition was an astonishing 515 yards (471 meters), hit by Mike Austin in 1974 during the U.S. Senior Open Qualifier in Las Vegas.


How Did He Do It?

  • The Course: Desert Rose Golf Course, Las Vegas 🌵
  • The Conditions: Favorable high-altitude air and a strong tailwind helped the ball travel farther.
  • The Club: A Persimmon wood driver with a stiff shaft.
  • The Swing: Austin used a unique technique that maximized power while maintaining control.

Why Is This Record Special?

  1. It Happened in a Real Tournament – Unlike long-drive competitions, this was a regular professional event.
  2. Austin Was 64 Years Old – Most record-breaking drives come from younger athletes!
  3. The Ball Rolled Over 60 Yards After Landing – A perfect mix of power and course conditions.

Can It Ever Be Broken?

With modern equipment, longer drives are possible, but hitting over 500 yards in a tournament remains rare. Advances in golf ball technology and swing mechanics could push the limits in the future!

Will These Dynapower Drivers Make You Rethink Wilson?

If you want proof that Wilson is getting serious about drivers, you’ll need to count to three.

For the first time in recent memory, Wilson is launching a full, three-member family of drivers today under the DYNAPWR banner. Each driver is distinct, with each designed for a specific player type. If you’re Callaway, Titleist or TaylorMade, that previous sentence would yield a big yawn or maybe even a, “What, only three?”

However, a three-member driver family qualifies as a big deal for Wilson.

“Everything here is about making our products better and making them more suitable for a broader range of players,” Wilson Golf Club Innovation Manager Jon Pergande tells MyGolfSpy,

Please understand Wilson isn’t breaking any new ground with its new drivers. Virtually every major OEM lineup has a standard, MAX and LS model. For much of its recent past, however, Wilson has been a one-trick pony with drivers, save for the special-edition Driver vs Driver models. With two drivers in 2023 and now with three this year, Wilson might finally be ready for center stage.
