What’s Long Drive?
Long drive competitions are a specialized skill event within the sport of golf. Unlike traditional golf tournaments that focus on completing courses, long drive contests measure success purely by distance-players compete to hit the ball as far as possible within a set number of swings and a time limit.
Since its inception, the long drive format has captivated audiences with its thrilling competitiveness and unpredictable challenges. Initially rooted in the United States, the sport has grown into a global phenomenon with a full-fledged world tour. It has gained widespread recognition and acclaim from the golf industry, media, and enthusiasts alike.
Today, long drive competitions are attracting a new generation of young golf players and continue to grow in popularity, bringing a fresh and exciting dimension to the world of golf.
