DeChambeau heads into this weekend's PGA Tour event fresh off a first major championship win. The 27-year-old careded a final round 67 to win by six shots over Wolff at Winged Foot and will be eyeing his second victory at TPC Summerlin after his success in Las Vegas two years ago. 
 
The big-hitting Calefornian has revolutionized golf with his booming drive and the numbers say that he is currently the longest driver on tour. He will have a chance to underline that claim when he goes head-to-head with Champ and Wolff this week.

Champ led the field in average driving distance off the tee in 2019. DeChambeau bulked up and surpassed his fellow American in 2020 and this will be the first time that the duo will be paired alongside one another in a PGA Tour event, in what will truly be a big-hitting showdown. 
 
Wolff is no slouch and comes in at ninth in average driving distance.
