Bryson DeChambeau has dominated in the driving distance stats for quite some time, consistently appearing towards the top of the table in this measure during both his PGA Tour and LIV Golf career.
Hitting a long ball at The Masters provides a strong advantage in the pursuit of a Green Jacket, with some notable past winners at Augusta National being well-known for their powerful tee shots and incredible distance with the driver.
The likes of Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson and even current defending champion Scottie Scheffler can send the ball with the best of them, but this year a surprising name (along with a couple you might expect) has entered the fray in the distance race – with four players currently hitting it further than Bryson DeChambeau…
4 Players Hitting It Further Than Bryson DeChambeau At The 2025 Masters
1. Noah Kent
Leading the way is amateur Noah Kent, who despite his lack of Augusta National experience let rip with the driver during the first round of the driver.
According to live tournament stats from Data Golf, The US Amateur runner-up had an impressive driving distance average of 320 yards, which helped him to outrank some of the biggest names in the sport.
Three birdies, four bogeys and three double-bogeys lead to an opening 79, leaving him a little bit to do in order to make it safely through to the weekend.

2. Rory McIlroy
It will come as no surprise that Rory McIlroy ranks towards the top of the driving distance stats after round one at The Masters. The four-time Major winner ranks 6th on the PGA Tour this season and frequently resides towards the top end of this measure.
His driving distance average was 318.5 yards on route to turbulent level par opening round, where two late double-bogeys wiped out the good work from earlier in the day.
That measures 2.5 yards longer than Bryson’s driving distance average(316 yards), and Rory will be hoping to utilise his length off the tee over the final three rounds in the pursuit of the Career Grand Slam.
