October 9th 2016.- After the cancellation of the final event this year, now the season is over. Postponing the final round would have caused many logistical problems for both players and staff. We have had 9 amazing tournaments this year across Europe starting in April at the “Home of golf” in St. Andrews and finishing last September in Portugal.

The fourth season of the Long Drivers European Tour is over and this means that the ranking/standings after 9 championships are final: Maurice Allen is the 2016 LDET Champion, Emil Rosberg finishes 2nd and Mauro Benaglio 3rd. CONGRATULATIONS

– Teemu Pitkänen (FIN) has the LDET record distance in four years with a bomb of 440 yards.

– There will not be an awards ceremony.

– We will make arrangements to mail out payouts. We will be in contact with players with more information about this process.

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the volunteers, grid workers and our staff for your work in making this season possible and successful.  We would also like to extend our gratitude to all the players for your season and to the golf courses that have hosted our tournaments this 2016.

Thanks and we hope you have enjoyed the season!

April 5th, 2016 - BARCELONA. The LDET engine starts this Friday 8th and Saturday 9th April with the first tournament of the 2016 season. The championship will be held in Scotland at the Fairmont St. Andrews. The first event will bring together nearly thirty hitters from all over Europe including the current European LDET champion, Maurice Allen, and the 2014, Joe Miller.

Scotland, the beginning:

The eagerly awaited return of the long drivers tour will kick off in Scotland, often considered the home of golf. The tournament will be held at Fairmont St. Andrews, ranked as one of the best courses in the world. The hole #17 in Kittocks with the panorama of St Andrews town in the background will host the adrenaline filled event of bombs from the big hitters. "Starting in Scotland means a lot for us. We are very proud that a field like Fairmont St. Andrews is the beginning of our fourth season that will certainly be impressive", says Xavier Eusebio, founder and director of the tour.

Allen vs Miller

This season will be even more competitive as more and more new players are taking on the more experienced players. The American Maurice Allen will have to defend the title as the current champion. It will not be easy because the LDET circuit has big names as Frederik Frost (Denmark), Dewald Lubbe (South Africa) and Mauro Benaglio (Switzerland), among others, as well as new rookies like the Emil Rosberg (Sweden) or Thomas Morel (France). And also we have hitters from other continents such as the champion of Kenya Ajay Matharu.

Almost thirty players will face each other in Scotland to compete for the first tournament of the season. And what a great competition it’s going to be, as the inaugural event will see Joe Miller (2014 Champion) and experienced hitters like Andreas Persson (Sweden) or Dan Konyk (England).
