Arizona Long Drive: The Southwest's Fastest Growing Golf League Returns May 16

Arizona Long Drive is quickly becoming the next big thing in competitive golf, bringing the energy of a stadium to the tee box. Our mission is to create a platform where power, precision, and personality collide—combining the explosive entertainment of long drive golf with community-focused events that are open to all ages and skill levels.

Whether you're a seasoned long drive competitor or a newcomer who just loves crushing golf balls, Arizona Long Drive is your home for big swings, big wins, and unforgettable nights under the lights.

WHAT IS ARIZONA LONG DRIVE?
We are a high-energy golf league and competition series based in the heart of the Southwest. Our events feature two signature formats:
- Long Ball – The traditional long drive competition. Competitors hit five balls, and the longest single ball that lands in the grid is counted.
- 3Ball – A unique twist on long drive. Competitors hit five balls, and the sum of the three longest that land in the grid is counted. This format rewards not only raw power but also consistency and control.

These formats allow for a range of competitors to shine. Some may launch a single massive drive that wins Long Ball, while others with exceptional accuracy can score big in 3Ball. It’s one of the only formats in golf where both finesse and firepower are rewarded equally.

SEASON AWARDS AND RANKING
Arizona Long Drive features a season-long leaderboard for both formats:
- FedEx Cup: Awarded to the competitor with the highest cumulative Long Ball yardage throughout the season.
- 3M Cup: Awarded to the competitor with the highest cumulative 3Ball yardage across all events.

This creates a dynamic season structure where consistency pays off—and where every event matters.

We also recognize members of the 1,000 Yard Club—those whose 3Ball totals exceed 1,000 yards in a single set (800 yards for female competitors). It’s a prestigious badge of honor and a marker of elite performance.

We also see long drive as a gateway for making golf more accessible. With no putting or chipping required, our format welcomes big hitters and new players alike—many of whom may have never entered a formal golf competition before.

We’re not just organizing competitions—we’re growing the sport of long drive.
