Max Homa Sets PGA Tour Distance Record
Unprecedented 477-Yard Drive Stuns Golf World
Kapalua, Hawaii (January 9, 2023)
In an astonishing display of power hitting, American golfer Max Homa has set a new PGA Tour record for the longest drive measured in the ShotLink era. On Saturday's third round of The Sentry Tournament of Champions at the Kapalua Resort Plantation Course, Homa unleashed a monstrous tee shot that traveled an astounding 477 yards on the par-4 seventh hole.
The record-breaking drive stunned the golf world, with Homa laughing off the accomplishment after his round. "It was a good one, but I'm not going to get too excited about it," said Homa. "It's just one drive." However, the distance of the shot is undeniable, as it surpasses the previous ShotLink era record held by Davis Love III, who hit a 476-yard drive at the 2004 Wyndham Championship.
The remarkable feat is a testament to Homa's prodigious hitting ability. The 32-year-old is known for his long drives and has consistently ranked among the top drivers on the PGA Tour. In fact, Homa's 477-yard drive is the longest recorded on any major professional golf tour in recent history.
Homa's record-setting drive is likely to generate plenty of buzz on social media and golf forums. It serves as a reminder of the extraordinary athleticism and skill required to succeed in professional golf. The ShotLink era has provided valuable data on distance and accuracy, and Homa's historic drive will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come.
