Larry Nelson, Hale Irwin, Jose Maria Olazabel, Lee Janzen, Nick Faldo, Curtis Strange, etc, you could go on forever.

Even Zach Johnson who won the Masters last year is not a long hitter. You go 90 holes dead even with Woods you have the game to be a major champion. He isn't though.
It's the reason he lost this. He couldn't hit 18 in 2, and 2 putt.Most of the guys you mentioned are from an era when length wasn't as important as it is now. Zach Johnson is the exception. If that wasn't a fluke, then what is?
