Published

on

A “great driver” of the ball used to be considered someone who hit a lot of fairways, but with the advancement of statistics and strokes gained, we can go deeper and find out who the players are that truly excel against their peers not just hitting fairways but hitting it far and missing in the right spots leading to a statistical advantage off the tee.

These are the driver combos used by the top 10 players in the “strokes gained: off-the-tee” category.
