Here's the 2004 ReMax Longest Drive info: http://66.116.193.163/remaxwldc/former_champions/

Last year's winner was 470 yards. That's almost double what mine is! I wish they used computer monitoring on the tee to see what their club head speed and stuff like that was. Plus the exact details of each of the winner's clubs would be extra nice.
I couldn't find any historical results on that site. It did say that last years winner's longest drive was 470, but it isn't clear whether that's the longest one he's ever hit or last years winning drive. I've watched the competition a number of times on ESPN and it seems to me that something around 400 yards usually takes it.
