    It is the first time ever that all eight international champions will compete in the same event anywhere in the world.

    Those competing will be Lucas Dornan, UK Long Drive Champion and Long Drive World Series competitor , two-time World Champion Joe Miller and many more stars of the format.

    The Long Drive World Series event is designed to have crowds on the edge of their seats and deliver some real upsets for the so-called experts.

    There will be sudden death knockouts and head-to-head battles, as well as the unknown challenge of two wildcard places.

    Women or men who believe they have the drive and gusto to go head-to-head with some of the world’s best can score a wildcard one of two ways:

    eGolfMegastore Al Wasl: The first way is to visit eGolfMegastore’s Al Wasl, branch in Dubai where would-be long-drivers can record their longest drive for a chance to fill one wildcard place. Entries close on 14th March those thinking about it are encouraged to get moving.
