The World Long Drive circuit is about as extreme as golf gets—monster swings, ball speeds that push physics, and athletes who treat the tee box like a launch pad. Now, one of the game’s more innovative equipment brands is stepping into the spotlight. Newton Golf, a technology-forward company rooted in physics-based engineering, has officially been named an Official Partner of World Long Drive (WLD) for the upcoming 2025 season.

A Perfect Fit for Power Golf

World Long Drive has grown into a true spectacle—think of it as golf’s version of track and field, where raw speed and distance dominate the stage. Competitors routinely generate ball speeds north of 220 mph and send drives beyond the 400-yard mark. For Newton Golf, whose entire product line is built around maximizing energy transfer and efficiency, it’s the perfect proving ground.

“World Long Drive represents the pinnacle of speed and power in golf, and it’s a perfect stage for our shaft technology,” said Greg Campbell, Newton Golf’s Chairman & CEO. “As an official partner, we’re excited to showcase our Motion Series shafts throughout the 2025 season and especially at the World Championships, one of the sport’s most exciting events.”

Season-Long Exposure

The partnership gives Newton Golf brand visibility and engagement opportunities across the entire WLD calendar, which culminates at the 2025 World Long Drive Championships from September 25–27 at Bigfoot Turf Farm in La Salle, Colorado. That finale is the Super Bowl of long drive—broadcast globally and attracting fans who love the high-energy side of golf.

By aligning with WLD, Newton not only gets their products in front of fans but also in the hands of some of the most powerful athletes in the sport. The company’s Motion and Fast Motion shafts—already trusted on major professional tours—will now get battle-tested in the most speed-obsessed environment golf has to offer.

Why It Matters

Partnerships like this highlight a larger trend: technology companies moving closer to performance showcases. Just as F1 is a testing ground for automotive innovation, WLD is becoming a lab for extreme golf equipment. If a shaft can hold up to a 150+ mph swing speed on the Long Drive grid, it can certainly handle the demands of weekend warriors and aspiring scratch players.

For Newton, it’s also about expanding their audience. While tour pros and elite amateurs are already aware of the brand, WLD brings visibility to a broader demographic—golfers who might not watch every PGA Tour stop but love the entertainment factor of watching athletes swing out of their shoes.

Innovation Meets Entertainment

The partnership reinforces the idea that golf is evolving beyond 18 holes on a Saturday morning. From simulator venues to long-drive competitions, fans are engaging with the game in new formats—and equipment companies are smart to follow. By backing World Long Drive, Newton is planting its flag squarely in the middle of that cultural shift, showing they’re not afraid to embrace the high-octane, high-tech side of golf.
