When the driver is on, golf is more fun.
You avoid careless penalties and are in position to attack with approach shots. We all are searching for more distance and more fairways, so that those stellar days with the driver outnumber the frustrating ones. For that reason, there is no shortage of driver related tips on GolfPass.
This year we are unveiling our inaugural Golfers’ Choice list for Daily Video Tips. GolfPass members, and other loyal instruction tip viewers, helped us create this list through what they watched and how they engaged with each video. To find the best of the best, we used a formula that factored in likes, comments and total views on every tip on GolfPass in 2025. That equates to approximately a 50 percent impact from the number of likes versus 25 percent from comments and views, respectively. We are proud to introduce this new franchise of content as part of Golfers’ Choice 2026.
We have also created top-10 lists in four other categories – best overall, iron play, short game and putting. Obviously, the top 10 tips overall will rank highly in the other categories. A wise golfer could (and probably should) use the 40 best instruction tips from 2025 featured in all five articles to completely overhaul and improve their games from tee to green.
These were the 10 most popular Daily Video Tips about driving the golf ball longer and straighter from the 85 we published in 2025:
