All the stats are available at pgatour.com.
But yes, driving distance is down this year, and it's really at a 5 or 10 year low, depending on if you look at the top distance or top distances.
I'm going to pull something out of my ass and guess that the weather anomaly this year on Tour, with more events than normal having rain delays, has deflated the driving distance stat.
