You're a moron.
The average driving distance on the PGA Tour is 287 yards.
In 2000, that would have put you at 7th in driving distance.
Phil Mickelson averaged 289 yards from the tee when he was 30. When he was 40 he averaged 299.
Tiger averaged 298 off the tee in 2000. He averages 291.8 this year.
So, despite 13 years of massive increases in equipment technology that made the average drive on tour in 2013 a top 10 drive in 2000, and the fact that Tiger went from #2 in driving distance to #63, he has no issues with driving the golf ball.
Oh, and how's this for you: he hits 10% fewer fairways than he did in 2000 too.
So, he's lost ten yards off the tee when everyone else has picked up 15, and he hits the fairway 1/6 less often, but these are wild assertions.
Just don't post. Ever. You are wrong about everything.
