FRANCE LDET: Full of power
23rd & 24th May - Golf Beaune Levernois
Beaune, France – For the first time ever, the Long Drivers European Tour (LDET) will make a thrilling stop in the historic wine capital of Beaune. The upcoming FRANCE LDET tournament promises to deliver an unforgettable display of power and precision, featuring a perfect grid designed to set new records.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Golf de Beaune-Levernois, this competition will bring together some of the biggest hitters (from Europe and also from USA, México, Canada...) to battle for distance supremacy. The grid’s perfect conditions—flat terrain, perfect tee box and favorable wind orientation—make it the ideal stage for long drive athletes to shatter personal and tour records.
This marks a significant milestone for the LDET, expanding its footprint into one of France’s most iconic regions and promising fans an electrifying new venue.
And it gets better: Tesla is rolling in with a high-energy setup to match the explosive vibe of the tournament. Expect premium car displays, an innovation lounge, and a full-on Tesla experience right by the tee box. Speed, power, and cutting-edge tech—on and off the grid.
The FRANCE LDET tournament is scheduled to take place 23rd & 24th May and is open to the public. INFO & Registrations
Horvath claims explosive victory at the Belgium LDET
Mol (Belgium), 28th April – Robin Horvath, the German long driver, has claimed victory in the opening tournament of the 2025 Long Drivers European Tour season. In a thrilling final, Horvath triumphed over England’s Brad Pearmain to take home the first-place trophy.
The competition, held at the Steenhoven Country Club showcased incredible performances from some of the world’s top long drivers, but it was Horvath’s consistent power and precision that earned him the top spot. Pearmain fought valiantly, but Horvath’s performance in the final proved to be too much, securing his place at the top of the podium.
In the battle for third place, Welshman Bry Roberts triumphed over Northern Ireland’s Aaron Lennie, securing a well-earned spot on the podium after a fierce contest.
This victory not only marks a triumphant start to Horvath’s 2025 season, but it also sends a powerful message to the rest of the field: the "Hungarian Hulk" is back. With the rest of the season ahead, fans can expect even more breathtaking drives.

What happens if a ball in play at rest is moved by an outside agency? This is one of the answered questions of the long drive rules established by Long Drivers European Tour (LDET- Est. 2012) to regulate this sport practice around the continent. These regulations are mandatory for all the tournaments. The clubs, balls, tees and the behavior are contained in this regulation. LDET Rules are self adapted following the standard of R&A (randa.org), the governing body of golf worldwide except the United States (usga.org) and Mexico.
To begin with the clubs, equipment will be checked the day before or the same day of the tournament so all the players will have to register their golf material. The measurement of soil to the upper end of the club cannot exceed 48 inches (121,9 cm).
