DeChambeau is known for his heavy hitting and the skill will certainly aid him as he tees off at the Maridoe Golf Club on Friday (June 27). Dean Burmester is trailing him in second with a 329.1 yard average to his name. The newly crowned most decorated player of LIV Golf, Joaquin Niemann is third with a 326.8 yard average.

David Puig and Peter Uihlein complete the top-fivd of the driving distance table on LIV Golf this year with 326.4 and 325.1 yard hits, respectively. LIV Golf star and 5-time Major champion, Phil Mickelson is T33 with an average driving distance of 304.0 yards.

The Maridoe Golf Club in Dallas will be hosting the LIV Golf event this week. The 72-par course has a length of 7800 yards and a yardage of 7543. Two of the par-5 holes are longer than 600 yards.

The owner of the course, Albert Huddleston talked about what players can expect from Maridoe this year.

"You're going to see the course this year exactly the way that we had hoped for it to be in. If you don't come and bring your game and your brain to the course, then you'll be disadvantaged," he said via LIV Golf.

The course could be a challenging one to navigate for LIV Golf stars as they will need to hit long tee shots to succeed in Dallas. Given his recent driving distances, Bryson DeChambeau could have a massive advantage on the sprawling course this week.
