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.
