‘Don’t Tell Bryson’: Golf World Stunned by Insane Tiger Woods Stat From 20 Years Ago

When talking about long-drives and impressive speed stats in professional golfing, Bryson DeChambeau’s name is the first to be mentioned. However, most recently, a notable entity is beginning to steal the limelight in this conversation. The legend himself, Tiger Woods, is creating a lot of buzz amongst fans, courtesy of an astonishing stat.

To no surprise, whether it is the PGA Tour, the President’s Cup, or lifetime career earnings, Woods tops the charts everywhere. However, a most recent discovery has revealed impressive statistics of his ball and clubhead speed, something he has never been associated with before.

Tiger Woods amazes the world with his numbers

Recently, Luke Dineen disclosed his findings on Twitter. He posted a picture by Flightscope, which depicted Woods’ ball stats from a 2004 exhibition round. He wrote, “Had no idea this existed until just now.” The clubhead speed is at 129 mph, while the ball speed is a staggering 185 mph.

In comparison, Bryson DeChambeau, who is renowned in the professional golf world for his impressive distance and speed, has the highest ball speed of 199.55. His average, however, is 192.80. While faster, Woods was not very behind the long drive star, and that too almost 15 years ago. His average clubhead speed is around 133.5 mph, and his fastest was recorded at 139 mph.

Woods, on the other hand, has an average driving distance of 290.3, which is not as high as the average number these days. At the Valspar Championship in 2018, Woods recorded his fastest ever clubhead speed at 129.2 mph, which was also the fastest that season.
