re: Can someone explain PGA tour average driver distance in this chart

Rory’s fairway finder carries 297

71.16%

And he only hits 71% of fairways. I wonder what would happen to his driving average if his ball was mishit or hit a tree 250 yards down the edge of the fairway. He hit a pull hook in the Masters that went straight left into the trees.
