The 2025 ACTEC Foundation Longest Drive Challenge Begins!
Every dollar you donate to your favorite golfer drives their ball another yard down the fairway. The golfer with the longest drive wins, making every dollar that you donate count!
The “Challenge” takes place over a period of four weeks: one round per week, with a winner announced each week (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest that week) and the winner of the Challenge announced at the end (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest during all four weeks). The Challenge ends at 5:00 PM ET on Wednesday, May 21, with the winner announced in the Weekly Update on Friday, May 23.

Lora “Pink Panther” Davis: Rocky Mountain Region
Gray “The Ghost” Edmondson: Southern Region
Shannon “Sandy Bagger” Barks: Heart of America
