How to unlock the He's going the distance achievement in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 - Definitive Guide

Golfer(s) to use: Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson

Wind Setting (under Play Now game settings): Gale Force

Course: Augusta National (particularly holes 2, 11, and 15)

Boost Pins: Driver (essential), Player boost

While going for this you must get on a long hole with a strong wind to your back off the tee, often the wind will not cooperate making this frustrating at times. Once you have everything setup, with a long hitter and a gale force wind to your back, aim so that your ball will stay on the fairway for as long as possible, as sometimes the wind will push your ball too far and it will go into the rough or worse. Make sure to put maximum forward spin on the ball to maximize roll and if you made solid contact the ball should go 400 yards unlocking the achievement. Also note that the ball does not have to end up in the fairway, it just has to go 400 yards according to the distance tracker.

good guide mate. I may add that you can not hit it OB. I had gale force on a par 3, hit it 420 yards, but no cheevo because it was OB.

I also wanted to add that you can't have muligans turned on, otherwise the achievement won't unlock. I tried it like that first and didn't get it. Unfortunately this means you may need to quit and reload a few times to get the right wind direction.

Just to add to this excellent solution you can get it with your profile golfer as well. I hit 405 yards at Valhalla with my profile golfer (power stat at 86) with power boost and driver boost pins enabled

I used the same idea as this but set it up this way: Bubba, Torrey Pines, hole 13, Tees: White, Gale Force winds, Gusts on, and "fast" for how the course plays.

1) Select Play Now
2) Select East Lake Course
3) Select Stroke Play
4) 1 Golfer
5) Select Tiger Woods
6) Change options to, Gale Force Winds, Red Tees, course conditions to fast, hole select to custom.
7) Select hole 5 only.
8) now play the hole and hopefully the wind will be behind you, aim slightly right as you will hit further down the fairway and need it right of the fairway slightly and you can overdrive a tee shot of tiger woods to around 415 yards with front spin.
If you don't get the wind behind you just keep trying as it keeps all your settings, so just keep restarting and you will get the wind behind you eventually.

I used my Created Golfer. I have all my stats up to 81 so I went into the settings then adjusted them. I gave him 100 Power and 85 Spin! I used Augusta National from the Black tees. I played a 18 holes with Gale force winds, the reason I chose 18 holes was, because you can never predict the direction the wind will be blowing! On the 9th Hole the wind was blowing in just the right direction, @ 36 MPH. I launched a 441 yard drive. I thought it might not count thinking the ball was out of bounds, but it did, and the ball stayed in bounds! Despite the high winds I still manged to finish the round @ +1 with 5 drives over 400+ yards including the 10th, & 11th holes.

Do a play now stroke play with Tiger Woods. Choose Augusta National (not the par 3 course), hole 2, wind at gale force with wind gusts on. I only used the Tiger player pin that boosts all his ratings by +8. When I did it, the wind was blowing at 19-20 mph to the northwest. I aimed for the right side of the fairway and got it first try.

I think the Augusta courses come with the Collector's Edition only, but for those of you who happen to not have this course, there's some great holes at St. Andrews with wide fairways. Play from the black tees to maximize the distance on the hole.

There are multiple options here, but the main goal is to pick a strong golfer like Bubba Watson or Tiger and select Gale Force winds from the options menu. The recommendation below is what i personally used. Took quite a few tries though to get the wind in the right direction. Went about 450ish with the driver and power pins attached.

Note: Insure you have mulligans turned off as this voids the achievement.

Additional info: Augusta, 2nd hole. Use Tiger, Gale Force winds, fast course, and the boost pins for Tiger and Driver. First time I tried it the wind was across and opposite the direction of the dogleg and I still got 380; second try the wind was almost straight with me and I got 410. Of course use the forward spin for extra roll.

This is another trophy that should come in time. But if you are in a hurry, head to a hole with plenty of fairway which heads downhill off the tee. For a few good candidates, look below. In the settings, put the wind to Gale Force, and set the course to be hard and fast.

The Setup I Used:

Course: Augusta National
Hole Select: Hole 2 and Hole 15 only
Tees: Red
Wind: Gale Force
Conditions: Fast

The trick is to get the Gale Force wind directly behind you as you drive. It may take a few restarts to get it setup right. The wind will give you a power boost. Having two holes per attempt will increase your odds of getting a nice rear-wind. Use spin and the downslope to gain even more distance. Also, adding a little draw to your shot will add a little extra distance. A fade however will cut your distance a little. You can also equip a few pins to boost your driver and golfer stats if you want. Get it all right, and 400+ yards can be reached.

You can try this with Tiger, Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson or your own Pro if his stats are high enough. If you leave this until after you finish Career mode, he should be even better than the pro's. Also, you may unlock this naturally in the meantime without really trying.

Good Holes To Do This Trophy On:

Augusta National - Hole 2 - Red Tees
Augusta National - Hole 15 - Red Tees
Torrey Pines - Hole 9
East Lake - Hole 5
Pebble Beach - Hole 9 | Credit to Bud20078.
