Russell Henley considers increasing driving distance amid workout ramp-up

Russell Henley is contemplating increasing his driving distance to keep pace with other players on the PGA Tour. Currently 145th in driving distance, he averages 294.3 yards, but ranks 49th in strokes gained off the tee, thanks to his accuracy. Following his recent victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge, he has risen to fifth in world rankings. Henley mentioned he is ramping up workouts to gain muscle, while grappling with the challenges of maintaining weight during a demanding season. His recent performance at The Masters, where he finished tied for third, has fueled his desire to improve after a disappointing Ryder Cup experience last year.
