The 12 Longest Putts Made On The PGA Tour Since The Stat Was First Tracked

“Drive for show, putt for dough” is an adage that’s frequently trotted out to describe the importance of those two aspects of the game of golf, but you’re not going to earn a spot on the PGA Tour by being proficient in both of them. It’s not rare to see the pros sink some insanely long putts while competing at a tournament, but none of them have drilled longer ones than the guys on this list.

These are the longest putts golfers on the PGA Tour have made since that stat was officially tracked

2003 marked the first year the PGA Tour started keeping an official record of the length of the putts players attempt during a tournament, and while there are plenty of pro golfers who sank some lengthy ones prior to that point, there’s no real way to verify those achievements.

As things currently stand, 19 different players have made a putt that was 90 feet or longer in a PGA Tour tournament since the stats were tracked, and I figured I’d take a look at the best of the best. I did what I could to track down videos of the putts in question, but that ended up being easier said than done for most of these.

T-11. Rodney Butcher: 93 feet, 4 inches

Rodney Butcher never earned his PGA Tour card, but he did earn the right to participate in 14 tournaments between 1995 and 2009 while taking home a grand total of $13,131 in prize money.

He did earn a spot in the organization’s annals with the 93’4″ putt he made at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in 2009, which was the longest one anyone recorded in a PGA Tournament that year.

T-11. Henrik Norlander: 93 feet, 4 inches

The Valero Texas Open is responsible for a couple of the entries on this list, and the first one comes courtesy of Hentrik Norlander, who was also 93’4″ from the flagstick on the 13th hole at TPC San Antonio during the third round of that tournament when he hit a perfectly paced putt that plopped into the cup.

10. Robert Streb: 94 feet, 8 inches

In 2015, Robert Streb had to finish the final round of a tournament putting with a wedge after he accidentally broke his putter and actually managed to end up in a playoff (he was eliminated from contention before having to use the replacement club to take a stroke on the green).

It’s not clear if he was using the putter that replaced the broken club in 2017, but the one he had in the bag that year was responsible for some clutch moments. He made a 94’8″ putt during the second round of the Wells Fargo Championship and had a 91-footer at The Greenbrier Classic a couple of months later.

9. Chad Campbell: 95 feet, 3 inches

Chad Campbell is a four-time PGA Tour winner who is probably best remembered for losing to Angel Cabrera (who we’ll be talking about in a moment) in a playoff that also involved Kenny Perry at The Masters in 2019.

In 2015, Campbell made what was then the fifth-longest putt in the Shotlink Era during the second round of the Northern Trust Open to convert a lengthy eagle opportunity on the par-5 17th at Riviera.

8. Bryson DeChambeau: 95 feet, 5 inches

Bryson DeChambeau capped off his third round at the 2020 PGA Championship with a bang, as he drilled a 95’5″ putt on the 18th to finish at 66 and head into Sunday in a tie for seventh. He ultimately ended up in a tie for fourth, and that putt netted him an extra $78,000 if we assumed everything would have remained the same if he’d two-putted.

7. Nick Watney: 95 feet, 7 inches

If you’re a golf fan, the first thing that probably springs to mind when you think of a long putt at the Canadian Open is the 72-footer Nick Taylor made to beat Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff in 2023.

However, that had nothing on the one Nick Watney made from more than 95 feet away during the first round of the tournament in 2017.

6. Alex Cejka: 96 feet, 2 inches

We’ve got another putt that came courtesy of the Northern Trust Open, and this one transpired courtesy of Alex Cejka, who made his 96’2″ attempt during the first round of that tournament in 2011.

5. Ben Curtis: 100 feet, 1 inch

There are currently five golfers who are members of The Century Club by making a putt that measured at least 100 feet.

The first one—and the first to do it—is Ben Curtis, who was one inch over that threshold when he made the historic shot he attempted during the first round of The Players Championship in 2007.

4. Harris English: 100 feet, 3 inches

The next two entries on this list come courtesy of The Waste Management Open, which is best known for the rowdy atmosphere defined by the stadium hole that is the par-3 16th.

There’s sadly no footage of Harris English making his 100’3″ putt during the second round in 2023, but he gave anyone who was watching him play the 6th hole at TPC Scottsdale an excuse to go nuts.

3. Angel Cabrera: 103 feet, 5 inches

There is also no footage of Angel Cabrera making a putt that came in at 103’5″, but he took full advantage of the driveable green on the 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale during his final round in 2011 despite leaving himself quite the distance off the tee.

2. Patrick Fishburn: 105 feet, 8 inches

Patrick Fishburn takes the second spot on this list, but for reasons I’ll explain in a moment, he should probably be credited for having the longest putt any golfer had recorded in a PGA Tour tournament after eagling the 17th hole during his final round at the Valero Texas Open in 2025.

1. Craig Barlow: 111 feet, 5 inches*

Craig Barlow joined the PGA Tour in 1998 and eventually played in more than 300 tournaments but never finished higher than second place in any of them. As a result, his primary claim to fame is being responsible for the longest putt in the history of the PGA Tour—but there’s a reason there’s an asterisk next to the distance.

There isn’t any video footage of the shot Barlow sank for eagle during the fourth round of The Buick Open in 2008, but if there was, you’d notice it wasn’t really a putt. He pulled out a lob wedge to attempt a chip due to the distance between the ball and his hole after it landed on the green, but any shot attempted on the putting surface is technically classified as a putt even if a putter isn’t used.
