Longest Drivers By Era in PGA Tour History | Golf.com View Gallery Next The 1910s: Ted Ray At 6’0”, 220 lbs, this two-time major winner (pictured at right, with Harry Vardon in Bronxville, N.Y., in 1920) might be golf’s first bomb-and-gouger. Known for huge drives and poor accuracy, Ray competed against some of the best, including J.H. Taylor, James Braid, and Francis Ouimet, and eventually captained England in the unofficial Ryder Cup in 1926. His strength, size, and playing style were uncommon in an era when the prehistoric equipment forced most players to favor finesse over power. The 1920s: Jim Barnes One of the original big hitters on Tour, “Long Jim,” was known both for his unusual height (6’4” made you a freak in 1910) and his prodigious driving distance. Barnes used a lanky frame and long, muscular arms to crank drives past the likes of Walter Hagen and Harry Vardon on his way to four major championships and 21 Tour wins.

His nine-stroke margin of victory in the 1921 U.S. Open (President Warren G. Harding is presenting him with this trophy in this photo) was a record that held up until Tiger’s win at Pebble Beach in 2000. The 1930s and 1940s: Sam Snead Known for one of the smoothest and most powerful swings in the history of the game “The Slammer,” (shown here teeing off at the 1954 Masters) routinely out-drove Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson while accumulating a record 82 PGA Tour victories and seven majors. Snead had incredible flexibility and he used it along with impeccable timing and overall athleticism to hit powerful tee shots with effortless grace. The 1950s: Arnold Palmer Arnold Palmer's swing with its famous helicopter finish is one of the game's most distinctive. It also generated tremendous power. Palmer used his tremendous strength to swing hard and without fear, a style that made him one of the most popular players the game has ever seen.

In this photo, Palmer drives from the first tee in opening round of 17th Southern Intercollegiate golf tournament at Athens, Ga., April 29, 1954. The 1960s and 1970s: Jack Nicklaus Everyone knows The Golden Bear for his 18 major victories and legendary run in the final round of the ’86 Masters, but along with his ability to make clutch putts and out-think opponents was one of the most powerful driver swings the game of golf had ever seen. An all-around great athlete, Nicklaus (shown here at the 1975 PGA Championship) used his strong legs and stocky build to consistently hit extremely long, high fades that routinely found the fairway when it counted the most. The 1980s: Greg Norman The Shark might have caught a few bad breaks in the final rounds of major championships but there’s no doubt he’s one of the longest, straightest drivers in the history of the game.

Primarily using a power fade to find fairways, Norman (shown here at the 1994 Players Championship) had the ability to swing so hard the club rebounded off his back in the finish but still nail his target. Don’t try it at home unless you possess prodigious strength, flexibility and confidence. The 1990s: Fred Couples Nicknamed “Boom Boom,” for good reason, Couples' incredibly effortless, relaxed swing belied the massive power it produced. Born with unusual flexibility and an outrageous amount of talent, Couples (shown here at the 1991 Ryder Cup) often said all he thought about when driving the ball was turning his left shoulder under his chin and then hitting it has hard as he could with his right hand. If only it were that easy. The 1990s: John Daly If you want proof of Long John’s prodigious power, consider this: From 1989 to 2007, Daly ranked in the top five in driving distance every season on the PGA Tour, including 14 years when he manned the top spot.

Daly’s freakish combination of Gumby-like flexibility and huge forearm strength allows him to swing the club well past parallel in the backswing and then create enormous lag and clubhead speed in the downswing. Though his results are hard to argue with (he’s shown here at the 1991 PGA Championship, which he won), Daly’s motion is probably not one to even think about copying. The 2000s: Tiger Woods You wouldn’t think that someone with the nickname Urkel could turn into a physical specimen whose swing speed and power would rival that of just about anyone in the history of the game, but in Tiger’s case it happened. (He’s shown here at the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, which he won by a record 15 shots.) Though it’s easy to think that his weightlifter’s biceps and impressive physique are the keys to Tiger’s massive power, the truth is his swing speed is more a product of core strength, amazing coordination, and sheer athletic talent. The 2000s: J.B.

Holmes With a swing more reminiscent of a lumberjack than a golfer, this long hitter from Kentucky has averaged well over 300 yards in driving distance every year since the 2003 season (peaking in ’05 with a preposterous 324-yard average). An unusually short backswing and a lot of strength and speed allow Holmes to overpower even the longest courses with the same grip-it-and-rip-it-style popularized by John Daly. The 2010s: Bubba Watson The defending Masters champ (shown here at the 2012 Masters) is one of the most unusual long hitters in the history of the game. Watson has a tall, relatively slight build and and unorthodox swing during which he almost completely leaves his feet -- those aren't the kind of things that normally lead to drives in excess of 350 yards, but in Bubba’s case they do. In addition to producing mind-numbing distance, Bubba also curves it about as much as anyone on Tour, playing 30-yard draws and fades at will.

Previous Bio Bio Bio Bio Golfer John Daly turned pro in 1987, and he earned his first pro victory soon after at the 1987 Missouri Open. He joined the PGA TOUR in 1991, and won the PGA Championship that same year. Daly garnered quite a bit of media attention from this victory, due to the fact that he was the ninth and final alternate for the event. The eight other alternates couldn’t make it. John, playing in just his third major, secured a three-stroke victory. That earned him PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year honors in 1991. John won the British Open in 1995 in a playoff with Italian golfer Costantino Rocca at St. Andrews. Daly is the only eligible two-time major winner never selected to play in the Ryder Cup. Daly went on to win the Buick Invitational in 2004, and earned the PGA TOUR Comeback Player of the Year distinction that year. He is primarily known for his driving distance off the tee, earning him the nickname “Long John.” He’s earned some attention for his free-wheeling attitude and his multiple business ventures.

The major breakthroughs in his golfing career were the PGA Tour and the wins in the British Open which helped him earn the major amount of his wealth. He was given the nickname ‘Long John’ owing to his driving distance off the tee. He is also known as The Lion. John is exceptionally good at the game and is popular for his ‘grip it and rip it’ attitude. He is also known for his philanthropic attitude and his involvement with charities. But John has been linked to several controversies that have side-lined his career. He fell prey to his gambling habits. Unfortunately, the losses incurred due to losses in gambling and his four divorces have left the golfer near broke today with a little income and $40, 000 in monthly obligations. Early Life: John Daly was born on April 28, 1966 in Carmichael, California. His parent were Jim and Lou, and he had an elder brother and sister. He started playing golf at an early age of four, when the family relocated to Dardanelle, Arkansas. He had a keen interest in sports since childhood. He was a letterman in football and golf while in high school.

He was also a part of the golf team at the University of Arkansas but he left his college before completion of graduation. He became professional in the year 1987 and his first victory was registered in the 1987 Missouri Open. The Golf Career: John’s professional career began in the year 1987 and in 1991 he joined the PGA Tour. He also won the PGA Championship the same year. This victory brought a lot of attention from the media as John was the last of the nine alternates and was the only one who could make it. He secured a three stroke victory and won the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors. In 1995, he won the British Open Championship over Constantino Rocca at St. Andrews. He then suffered over six years of poor play and personal disturbances. He made a comeback by winning the BMW International Open in Munich in September 2001. He then won the Buick Invitational in 2004 and also earned the PGA Tour Comeback Player of the Year. He also published his memoir in the year 2006 under the title ‘My Life In and Out of the Rough’.

John is well known for the exceptionally far distances to which he can hit the golf ball. His exquisite timing and balance give him an edge over others. He is a very fast player. Golf being a game of skill and technique did not pose much problem for the heavy weighing John. He is credited by the PGA Tour with the highest score ever on a single hole: an 18 on a par-5 during the 1998 Bay Hill Invitational. Other Ventures: Besides golf, Daly has tried his hands in other ventures too. He is an instructor as well as an opponent in the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC video game called ‘John Daly’s Prostroke Golf’. He also owns a clothing line under the name ‘Loud Mouth’ plus a golf course design company. The sales continued to increase making it difficult to meet demand. He also launched a wine label by his name ‘John Daly Wines’ in 2006. However, it is no more functional. He has also recorded and written music as well as released music albums. His first album was ‘My life’ and second was ‘I Only Know One Way’ which was released in April 2010.

Philanthropy: John has been involved with several charity activities. After the 1991 PGA Championship, he donated $30, 000 to the family of a man who died during the tournament due to lightning strike, even when John’s career has just started and he was not very wealthy at that time. He has donated money to his school and also supports the sports program at the University of Arkansas. He is known for his involvement with several charities, especially in northwest Arkansas. Controversies: In October 2006, John was taken in protective custody on being found drunk outside a Hooters restaurant. Though he was not charged but received a lot of negative publicity. Owing to this, he quit consuming alcohol. In July 1994, he made a statement saying that many PGA golfers were cocaine users which got a lot of criticism from the pro golf community. In his autobiography, Daly admitted to having a great difficulty with his gambling habit. He claimed to have lost around $60 million over the past fifteen years. John has divorcer for four times in his life. He was charged with a third degree assault for hitting his second wife, Bettye.

However the case remained off the public platform as Bettye did not wish to pursue the matter. His fight with his wife Sherrie also made it to the media headlines after Daly claimed that she had attacked him with a steak knife. She had fled the crime scene and was later awarded a five month prison term. Big Quotes: “Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it’s not drinking, it’s gambling; if it’s not gambling, it’s eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms.” “I learned you can’t drink whiskey and play golf.” Thailand Golf Championship | Past Players Thailand Golf Championship The full list of past players at Thailand Golf Championship tournament on the Asian Tour Charl Schwartzel Date of Birth : 31 August 1984 Birthplace : Professional Wins : 2012 Thailand Golf Championship Charl was the defending champion of the Thailand Golf Championship 2013.

Charley has proven himself against the best players in world and shot an impressive 62 final round to win the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship, one of the Tour’s Fed Ex Playoff events. This win provided Charley with invitations to all four Majors in the 2011 season, including his first appearance at The Masters at Augusta National. Simon Dyson Date of Birth : 21 December 1977 Birthplace : Turned Pro : 1999 In 2011, Simon won his fifth European Tour title when he edged Australia’s Richard Green at the Irish Open.

Simon won again in early September, shooting a final-round 66 at Hilversumsche GC to win the KLM Open in the Netherlands, edging David Lynn by a stroke. He began the day two strokes off James Kingston and Gary Orr’s leading pace. That was the third time he’d won that tournament. In 2011, Simon Dyson finished 10th on the European Tour’s Race to Dubai standings. John Daly John Daly Speaker | Contact Booking Agent For Fees & Appearances John Daly Biography American professional golfer on the PGA Tour, John Daly was born April 28, 1966. Daly is known primarily for his "zero to hero" victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, his driving distance off the tee (earning him the nickname "Long John"), his non-country club appearance and attitude, and his rough-and-tumble personal life. Daly remains one of the most popular and intriguing figures on the Tour, despite his recent lack of success.

He joined the PGA Tour in 1991 and won the PGA Championship that year. This victory gained Daly a significant amount of media attention due to the fact that Daly was the ninth and final alternate for the Championship. He entered the competition when Nick Price dropped out and no other alternate could make it. He parlayed this opportunity into a first round score of 69, without a practice round. He finished the tournament with scores of 69-67-69-71, giving him a three-stroke victory over Bruce Lietzke. Daly was subsequently named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. He was also the first rookie to win a major title since Jerry Pate won the U.S. Open in 1976. He won the B.C. Open in 1992 and the BellSouth Classic in 1994. In 1995, he unexpectedly won the British Open in a playoff with Italian Costantino Rocca at St. Andrews. Daly is the only eligible two-time major winner never selected to play in the Ryder Cup.
