Before I fell asleep watching the pre-round , and actual coverage of this weeks tournament, I heard 3 different talking heads make a statement about the length of this weeks course. They said that due to the length, (7600+ yards) and playing conditions, the longer hitter would find it easier to score better than the shorter hitter. They also went as far to say the shorter hitters chances of actually winning this tournament were very low, when compared to the longer ball strikers. If so, there is a built in, unfair advantage from the start.

What is the driving yardage number that separates the PGA's long hitters from the short hitters?
