World Long Drive has announced a new partnership with Pinnacle and has designated the brand as the official golf ball partner for the 2025 World Long Drive Tour event.
In addition to providing Pinnacle Distance as the official golf ball for the WLD event, the collaboration will showcase the birth of the Pinnacle Series and the introduction of long drive experts who will act as Pinnacle ambassadors.
The vertex distance will be available at the golf shop from March 15th.
Pinnacle will serve as the presentation sponsor for three WLD tour events and the official sponsor for the fourth event of 2025. It owns the naming rights for the Canyon crash, the first event of the 2025 season.
Additionally, Pinnacle will become the official sponsor of the Battle at Fort Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina. This is the first time that Pinnacle distance balls have been used in competition at the Mesquite event in March.
World Champion of the 2024 World Long Drive World, Sean Johnson and World No. 4 Jack Smith will be official pinnacle ambassadors for the 2025 season. Johnson and Smith play an important role in promoting and introducing incredible distances in vertex distances, durability, and consistency between balls.
“I’ll be easier, I’m very excited to use the Pinnacle Golf Ball again,” Johnson said. “The first ball I’ve ever played was Pinnacle Gold when I was 12. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the brand as I continue my long drive journey. This brand is synonymous with distance and I look forward to hitting the pinnacle distance in the competition.”
“I’m dedicated to being the best longest driver I can and I know that Pinnacle can help me get there,” Smith said. “I’ve seen many old footage of the past world long drive champions (5 times World Long Drive Champions), which have been associated with brands, such as Jason’s Buck, but now I have the opportunity to do the same. I’ve had the opportunity to test this product, but “Don’t think about it, Rip” is the perfect catchphrase for this ball and this brand. It removes one element from my process, as I know how it reacts when it hits properly. ”
“We look forward to partnering with Pinnacle and its parent company, Acushnet Company, as the official golf ball for the 2025 World Long Drive Tour event,” said David Livingston, Chief Executive of World Long Drive. “Pinnacle’s commitment to golf ball engineering for maximum distance and consistency enhances the sport by enabling athletes to showcase their most impressive drives in golf.”
“The story of Pinnacle’s origins is distance. It’s fun to see it on the long drive stages of the world. Competitors will certainly notice distance, but what’s long drive after a long drive is distinguished is its outstanding quality, consistency and durability.
The 2025 World Long Drive season will host nine events next week in Mesquite, Nevada, and will culminate in the World Championships from September 24-28 at Bigfoot Turf Farm in La Salle, Colorado.
