The PGA Tour’s Top 10 Longest Drivers So Far— Here’s the Club They Play
We’re 2 1/2 months into this PGA Tour season, past the point where many pros start changing their clubs to update them to the new models. With our driver test results now available, it’s the perfect time to take a first look at the similarities between the longest drivers on the PGA Tour and the drivers that can help amateur players maximize distance.
PGA Tour’s top 10 longest golfers 2025
Aldrich Potgieter may be new to the PGA Tour but he’s not new to generating distance from the tee. Potgieter also led the Korn Ferry Tour in distance in 2024 and just a few months into his PGA Tour career, he has already moved past Rory McIlroy, even if it’s by less than half a yard.
Potgieter recently played the Mexico Open and hit the driver off the tee, followed by the driver off the deck to land his ball on the green on a 661-yard par-5.
Here is a look at the top 10 longest golfers on the PGA Tour as of March 2025 and the drivers they are using.
| Player Name | Average Distance (yds) | Driver Used |
|---|---|---|
| Aldrich Potgieter | 326.9 | Titleist GT3 |
| Rory McIlroy | 326.7 | TaylorMade Qi10 |
| Niklas Norgaard | 325.1 | Titleist TSR3 |
| Tim Widing | 323.8 | Titleist GT2 |
| Gary Woodland | 321.6 | COBRA DS-Adapt X |
| Min Woo Lee | 320.3 | Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond |
| Karl Vilips | 320.1 | TaylorMade Qi10 LS |
| Alejandro Tosti | 319.8 | Srixon SX5 Mk II LS |
| Michael Thorbjornsen | 318.3 | TaylorMade Qi35 LS |
| Rasmus Højgaard | 317.9 | Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond |
How do these PGA results compare to our testing?
Now that we know which golf clubs the pros are using to generate all of this distance, it’s worth comparing that to our 2025 Best Golf Driver testing.
Driver performance 2025
The longest driver in our 2025 test was the Titleist GT2. Tim Widing has this in play and is generating 323.8 yards on average. Potgieter’s GT3 ranks fifth overall.
The other driver to finish in the top five for 2025 was the third-place Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond which was also the best overall driver of 2025.
Gary Woodland uses the COBRA DS-Adapt X which finished 18th out of 37 in our testing. However, the COBRA DS-Adapt Max K earned a fourth-place finish for overall distance. The DS-Adapt, like the Titleist and Callaway models for 2025, can all generate ball speed and distance. You may just have to fine-tune the fit to work for you.
