What is the World Long Drive Championships? When will Bryson DeChambeau compete?

On September 27, the world's top drivers will be in Mesquite, Nevada to hit golf balls as far and as fast as they can.

Justin James holds the current competition record with 435 yards, which he ran back in 2017.

DeChambeau currently holds the record at 321 yards. This is the longest distance on the tour.

Long Drive events, however, are an entirely different kettle of fish. Players often need to reach 400 yards in order to be eligible for the top spots.

The World Long Drive will be held from September 27 to October 1.

DeChambeau told Golf.com that his hands were "ruined" from the training.
