Adam Long sets PGA Tour record for consecutive fairways hit

Adam Long sets PGA Tour record for consecutive fairways hit

Adam Long can’t miss (the fairway).

Literally.

Long set a new PGA Tour record on Thursday morning in the opening round of the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Club. Long hit his 60th straight fairway when he found the short grass on his second hole, a par-5, after going 56-for-56 last week at the World Wide Technology Championship, breaking Brian Claar’s record of 59 straight fairways hit, set in 1992. His streak goes back to his final two holes at the Shriners Children’s Open.

In fact, Long hit every fairway on his front nine and his first two on the back nine, meaning the record now sits at 67 straight fairways hit.

And it could keep growing, too.
