Auckland’s XDL Championship tees off at Warkworth Golf Club
Auckland, New Zealand – A brand-new sporting chapter begins as Warkworth Golf Club partners with the internationally awarded Xtreme Drivers League (XDL) to host the inaugural Auckland XDL Championship — an electrifying Long Drive showdown that’s already generating national buzz. This milestone event will trial a new XDL format, with details revealed to players one week before tee-off.
Competitors will battle for their chance to “Make the Lake”, with a $1,000 prize pool up for grabs and a pathway to the national and international stage. Winners will represent Auckland at the North and South Island Championships, competing for the New Zealand Title and the opportunity to be flown to one of three major international XDL events.
“Warkworth Golf Club has been exceptional,” said XDL founder Olna Ford, who has led the league to an impressive 12 international business awards, most recently taking home ‘Best Sporting League – New Zealand’ for 2025, the 3rd consecutive year win for this title. “XDL is proud to partner with a club that embodies both community spirit and competitive excellence.” The October 5th event will also host a national scouting opportunity for the final New Zealand Long Black team member, rounding out the squad set to compete on the global stage later in the year. A vibrant community atmosphere is expected, with a festival-style environment, brand activations, and live crowd engagement.
XDL thanks its sponsoring partners: Harper Homes – Title Sponsor, Westend Concrete, Pharmagenics, Powervault – Event Operations Power Partner
and XDL’s Decade Partner - Mercedes-Benz North Shore
“This is more than a competition — it’s about legacy, opportunity, and showcasing New Zealand talent to the world,” said Ford.
