World Long Drive has announced a partnership with TrackMan to launch an international WLD virtual tournament this summer designed to allow golfers of all levels to compete in World Long Drive.
From casual to avid golfers, all participants will be able to take part in the competition at any TrackMan Golf location worldwide for a chance to win $1,000 across three separate, monthly tournaments. Thereafter, the top 50 male and 50 female long drivers from June, July, and August will advance to the WLD Trackman Virtual Finals in September for a chance to win a combined prize pool of $25,000, with the top five taking home cash.
“If you have ever wanted to test your swing at long drive, it’s now easier than ever,” said Shawn Tilger, President of GF Sports & Entertainment, which owns WLD. “As we continue to grow and broaden the game, we believe that it is imperative to create opportunities for fans to put their own skills to the test.”
Each competitor will have two minutes and 30 seconds to drive six balls, and their longest drive will count as their final score. Hitters must become a WLD virtual member ($25 one-time fee) and pay a $50 tournament entry fee to participate. Each participant can hit as many rounds as they would like throughout the three months to get their best drive.
“As the tour-proven leader in golf technology, TrackMan is always seeking new ways to create a better game,” said Bernd Larsen Linde, VP of Marketing at Trackman. “We are happy to help the World Long Drive tournament use TrackMan simulators as a competition platform, allowing long hitters everywhere a chance to compete against the best in this up-and-coming side of the sport.”
