Dubai: The golf world’s heaviest hitters are returning to Dubai for a second consecutive year for the high-octane Long Drive World Series (LDWS).

Set to take place Feb.9 at Jumeirah Golf Estates, the event will see 16 of the world’s best, including three UAE wild cards and one pre-qualified UAE long driver, go head to head as they push the limits of what is possible for their chance at glory and a share of the Dhs94,500 event prize pool.

Having launched to over 1000 spectators in Dubai in March 2017, and following events in the UK and Portugal, the Long Drive World Series has emerged as one of golf’s most exciting new events.

Simply put, competitors, representing some of the world’s best long drive golfers, battle it out to achieve the furthest distance in an atmosphere that includes pyrotechnics, music and the energy of cheering crowds.
