No, there is no correlation between driving distance and success on the PGA Tour. Luke List, the longest hitter in 2023, currently sits 116th on the FedEx Cup rankings, having missed 8 cuts in 16 events this season. Scott Stallings is another example. After hitting a 460-yard drive in 2022, he finished the season missing 14 cuts. However, he finished strong in the BMW Championship to make up for a difficult season.
