Elevating Long Drive in Asia-Pacific
Last year’s 2024 Asia Long Drive Championship, held from November 14 to 16 at Phuket Air Park, Thailand, was a historic milestone for the sport. For the first time, a long drive competition was held on a 660-yard airport runway, offering players a dramatic and technically challenging venue to demonstrate their power and precision.
The event brought together elite competitors from nine countries and regions—including Thailand, Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Hong Kong—underscoring the growing popularity of long drive in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Philippines Long Drive Championship Set for October
As part of its newly established role within ALDA, SPEMC will host the Philippines Long Drive Championship on October 4, 2025, at Resorts World Atrium. This high-profile national event will serve as a platform to identify and showcase the country’s top long drive talent. Winners of the competition will earn the opportunity to represent the Philippines at the 2025 Asia Long Drive Championship, bringing national pride and competitive energy to the regional stage.
