What Are Tiger Woods' Stock Yardages?

The 15-time Major champion is one of the greatest players ever to swing a club, but how far does he hit those clubs?

He's one of the greats of the game, a 15-time Major champion and 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, but just how far does Tiger Woods hit each club?

Woods has got all the shots, hitting high cuts, looping draws and, most famously, the low stinger, so for him perhaps stock yardages don't mean so much.

He's always been more of a feel player than the more robotic numbers men, but that doesn't mean he hasn't spent hours and hours working out just how far each club in the bag goes.

According to the latest information on Woods' stock yardages - Golf Digest published them before The Match in 2022 - Tiger hits his driver just under the 300-yard mark at 295.

Considering all the surgeries he's had and the limited mobility, not to mention his advancing years, that's still a pretty decent effort - but still way below Rory McIlroy who led the PGA Tour last year with an average of 326.3.

There's also wind conditions and course conditions that can have an impact on driving distances, so considering the PGA Tour average last season was 299.9 then Woods was not too far off at all.

And he can go a lot longer than that when he needs to. He bombed one 364 yards at Riviera at the 2023 Genesis Invitational, where he was keeping up with playing partner Rory McIlroy and regularly outdriving Justin Thomas.

“I put my driver up a click in loft at the start of the week, I might have to turn it back down again. I don't like him [Woods] hitting it by me," McIlroy said during the Genesis Invitational.

With regular gapping between clubs as you'd expected, there's nothing out of the ordinary about Woods' stock yardages, but as we've said with him it's always been all about his shot making abilities.

Woods has some of the best hands we've seen in golf, and not only can they conjure up some short game magic but also helps shot shaping with the longer clubs.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website.  Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
