Kapalua, Hawaii – In a stunning display of power, Max Homa unleashed a jaw-dropping 477-yard drive at the Kapalua Plantation Course on Saturday, shattering the PGA TOUR record for the longest drive in the StatLink Era.
The remarkable shot, which came on the seventh hole, left onlookers and golf enthusiasts alike in disbelief. It was a full 6 yards farther than the previous record, set by Justin Thomas in 2019.
Homa's drive drew immediate praise and awe from fellow players and commentators. However, the Fortinet Championship winner remained humble, downplaying the significance of the accomplishment.
"It was just a good swing," Homa said with a chuckle after his round. "I knew I hit it well, but I didn't realize it went that far."
The 32-year-old's prodigious drive has sparked considerable discussion about the future of golf equipment and the potential for even longer drives. It also highlights Homa's exceptional talent and the remarkable distance he can achieve with his swing.
