@Meathammer23if you let me know exactly which of the Titleist challenges you're referring to I'll have a look. Note that if you press the options/menu button on any challenge you should see a 'caddie tip' that will explain what terms like 'long drive' mean.
I have completed the long drives as per the caddie tip. All requirements were met but it seems there is something else in the code beyond what is stated. I eventually did complete the challenge on Titleist sponsor challenges but it seems the drive has to travel a certain distance. 320, 325 yards give or take seemed to be the factor accompanied with “Driver, 100% power, and Fairway in Regulation”.
This is also applicable on the Cobra sponsor challenge when facing Bryson DeChambeau. 10 long drives. That is hard enough challenge in itself hitting 10 fairways on an 18 hole challenge with the already given requirements.
Please let us know if there is something in the code that requires a particular distance on the drive which does seem to be a hidden qualifying factor.

What platform are you playing on? This categorically was not a requirement for me on PS5 but possibly it is platform dependent.
Another way the distance needed may seem to vary is an individual player's power skill level, in that the higher this is the further a 100%+ power (not overshoot) shot will go.
All the long drive challenges seem to have some unclear determining factor. Titleist has one, Cobra has one, and I believe there are a few more. This is on the XBox platform and I have maintained the “Caddie Tip” requirements. Look and see if there is some distance requirement that is hidden.

I have no way of doing the part in bold but I'm sure there wasn't for me. As I said, I completed one of these by deliberately clipping a tree so the drives weren't long at all! I'm sure there isn't meant to any distance requirement which is why I've been trying to see if anyone can share video proof of things not working as they should, which I will flag to try to get it passed on to the devs if one gets posted. Without this there are always going to be questions over whether someone really was doing everything as intended and so making it easier to dismiss.
If a challenge requires 3 or more long drives is there a way to check incremental status? IE: 1/3 long drives; 2/3 long drives, etc..

Sadly only via the stars when you first reach each milestone.
Yeah there ought to be some sort of notification or progress bar like in older versions of their games.

I was just about to post this. I too now have finally come across this challenge I've been hearing about, I'm on the PC. And I can't for the life of me figure out what is a long drive. Haven't got one star on it. I know when playing a career tourney round one time it said I got a long drive as part of a quest. I had previously assumed that meant the ball had to carry over 300 yds. But it seems I was wrong. Pretty sure I've got 325 yds total and it didn't count. Something is definitely being missed here lol.
I can't redo challenges I've done in the past but 'Long Drives' should count the same on holes played in other modes too I think. From a quick experiment last night I now think something has changed as some shots I know were counting this way no longer are. Whether this is a change to the game or a result of my player now being higher level/power and with more specs I have no idea. I'll do a bit more testing when I get chance...

I can't figure it out. I've even hit some perfect drives over 300 yds. didn't count. I gave up on it man. makes no sense.
Not able to complete the Titleist FSi Fairways challenge. Very frustrating. Hit all my drives over 100% with driver in the fairway. I got the first two stars - but the "Hit 3 Long Drives" doesn't register no matter what I do. I'm on PC for what it's worth.
