What Are World Long-Drive Champion Kyle Berkshire's Stock Yardages?

Kyle Berkshire hits during the preliminary qualifying round of the World Long Drive Championship at Bobby Jones Golf Course on October 20, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Kyle Berkshire is the biggest hitter in the game. Period. He is a three-time world long-drive champion - having claimed the titles in 2019, 2021, and 2023, respectively - and can smash a ball almost 600 yards (in favorable conditions).

Part of the reason the American is able to gain such extraordinary distance is down to his blink-and-you-will-miss-it ball speed. Having owned the world ball-speed record previously with a jaw-dropping effort of 233.4mph, Berkshire twice bested that with goes of 236.2mph and then 241.6mph - the latter of which was set in October 2023.
