UK Long Drive Championship Returns With Exciting New Look

By: Golfshake Editor | Thu 13 Oct 2022


The UK Long Drive Championship has a new look this year as it launches across more than 35 Trackman venues this autumn, with the event being held completely indoors and offering cash prizes for regional winners in addition to places in the televised final for the best men and women.

Qualifying starts on 13th October and is open to anyone, whether they simply want to beat their mates on the local leaderboard or have an eye on the top prize at the televised final in front of a live audience.

“Long Drive is a fantastic sport, which has been yearning for a new platform,” explains CEO Martin Westney. “By bringing the sport indoors we’re allowing fans to get really close to the action and are creating an experience like no other. Through the qualifying and regional finals we’ll be ramping up the excitement and the pressure, heading into the UK Grand Final which will rival the PDC World Darts Championship for atmosphere and excitement!”

The UK Grand Final promises to be a very special occasion. The added pressure of TV cameras and a loud, passionate, live audience will test the players as they go head-to-head in timed, knock-out battles until one winner takes the grand prize. This is fast, furious golf which will be supremely entertaining. Even the greats can get knocked out if they can’t stay on course. 

Open Qualifying will use the Trackman ‘Hit It!’ game, with participants buying a set of six balls to hit in a three minute time window. Local qualifiers will progress to the regional finals before the best in the country go head to head on stage for the final.
