Bryson DeChambeau intends to carry on competing in long-drive tournaments after bowing out at the last-eight stage in his maiden outing.
The Ryder Cup star was knocked out of the Professional Long Drivers of America World Championships on Friday, but plans to enter more events.
DeChambeau, who sits seventh in the Official World Golf Rankings, nailed a best drive of 412 yards at the competition in Nevada.
The 28-year-old, who helped Team USA to a record Ryder Cup victory at Whistling Straits last month, believes taking part in such events will help his all-round game.
"I'm definitely going to continue to keep doing this, and I think these guys that are bigger, better, faster, stronger than me are going to keep pushing me to go faster," the 2020 U.S. Open winner said.
"And I think this is going to translate over really, really well to the PGA Tour. I've learned how to control the golf ball at those speeds, and this is going to translate over to having extreme confidence on Tour in general.
"That's what people don't realise. Even though you're hitting it super far, it's the irons, the speeds you can create with your irons and the shots you can hit off the tee.
"Now with people hitting three wood, drivers, you can hit four irons off the tee, because they're just as far, and I can keep it in the fairway and control it a lot better.
"That confidence is instrumental in having a new level of play on the PGA Tour."
DeChambeau was the biggest hitter on the PGA Tour in 2021, his drives averaging 323.7 yards.
