XDL Driving Major Sponsorship Home


The hard hitting sport of Xtreme Drivers League, is officially recognised as high-performance sport (not golf) and in 2020 during the pandemic IGANZ (International Golf Associates New Zealand) was congratulated for the dedication and investment made to Long Drive (amatuer division) and Xtreme Drivers League (professional division) and is now listed as National Sports Organisation.  The founder and private investor of XDL, Olna Ford has been focused on getting the sport of big drivers to be independent from Golf since 2016.  With 30 events in 7 countries, two national teams and the largest purse paid out in the sports history, one can say that dedication is paying off. When the pandemic caused chaos, the home golf clubs for XDL National events  were hit hard with loss of sponsors and with this Olna decided to become a major sponsor & gold sponsor to both her North Island and South Island Clubs (PGA events). This October will be the 3rd year of major sponsorship to support the clubs that Olna feels gives support to her and the sport of XDL. The pros love smashing it out and one things for sure the Long Ball is the talk around the table at the 19th hole. XDL growth and major sponsorship plans for the Pacific Region in 2023.
