For example the Scottie Taylor made video where he guesses his yardage. 302 and 303 “carry” is his driver.

When watching at harbor town he had a 297 and 294 carry on the holes I just rewatched with tracer


I can see your point. I guess the PGA is going to highlight the bombs and not show Kevin Kisner who averages a 264 carry of the tee.

And for reference watching the Byron Nelson. KH Lee just carried driver 285. They didn't even bother to show the distance for Zach Johnson

Right. Maybe it’s just tv bias

If Kevin Kisner was leading the tournament he would be highlighted but he's tied for 98th and most likely won't make the cut so he will not be shown. Even if he hit a 325 yard bomb, being tied for 98th won't get any air time.
