(Explained)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
I love the game of golf, and it has never been more popular over the last couple of years. According to the Professional Golfer\u2019s Association (PGA)<\/a>, there are around\u00a027,000 golf professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each of these professionals has a different style and tendency when on the golf course. This is especially the case when it comes to using tees with irons. So do professional golfers use a tee with an iron?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes.<\/strong> While not all golf professionals will use a tee with an iron, most will. When they are on short par 3 holes, and they are going to start with a three-iron club, most will use a tee from the initial drive location without a tee. However, a tee will help them get more lift on the ball, and assist with getting an accurate shot, as well as distance overall.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So in this article, let’s dive deeper to see the situations in which a pro golfer would use a tee with irons and then help you decide if that is something you should do as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you play golf, you know that new technology is always making its way onto the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new technology includes new tees, clubs, balls, and more. For tees, though, most professionals will keep it simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Classic wooden tees are the most popular type of tee in-use by professionals on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The classic wood tee with a 2-3\/4 inches length will provide adequate lift for the ball with durability where the tee can be used multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall the wood is the most popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You would be in shock if you knew how many PGA Tour professionals use the free tees that they receive at each tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a professional plays in a PGA Tour tournament, most times, there are tees given out with sponsorship for the tour on them and such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some professionals will bring their own tees for use, but these free wood tees are the most common thing between the club and the ball for each professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned before, wood tees with a length of 2-3\/4 inches are going to be in line and conform with PGA Tour regulations.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you drive the ball, you do not have to hit off a tee, but it is a great idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tee height is going to have a direct impact on how well you are able to drive the ball. A distance killer would be not nailing the ball and getting mostly the tee when you hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, a skilled ball striker should be able to take the most advantage of teed-up shots and get a MAJOR advantage in distance and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have the ball too high or too low on the tee, the carry distance is not going to be ideal.<\/p>\n\n\nWhat Golf Tees Do Most Professionals Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
