During the first round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, Adam Long broke Brian Claar's 31-year-old PGA Tour record of 59 consecutive fairways and went on to hit 69 consecutive fairways.

Long's streak started on the 17th hole of his final round of the Shriners Children’s Open, and he didn't miss any fairways at the World Wide Technology Championship last week. Entering this week with 58 fairways, his tee shot found the rough on the par-4 15th, ending his streak with 69 fairways.
Earlier, Claar had hit 59 consecutive fairways in 1992, including all the fairways at the Memorial Tournament that year.
Before this week, Long made 18 cuts in 36 starts this season, earning four top-25 finishes. His best result was a T16 finish at the Barbasol Championship in July.
He currently sits at 138th in the FedExCup Fall. While the start has been good, he will need a good outing at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship to break inside the top 125 to secure the card for the 2024 PGA Tour season.
