We can answer all your burning questions now

It is a putting competition that started in 2023. Much like the long drive competitions you see on TV, except this is a competition for the best long putters. The beauty is that you don't need to be 6' 5" and weigh 320 to compete in the WLP!

Start by using this link to provide us your name and email. We will email you with dates and locations of qualifying events around the country.

We hold local qualifying events at courses and charity golf outings nationwide starting in January of 2025. If you win a qualifying event, you qualify to compete in a regional event. You may also pay the entry fee to enter a regional event directly.

Regional winners are awared a free trip for 2 to Kohler, Wisconsin, to compete in the World's Longest Putt Championship at The Baths of Blackwolf Run. The Finals are tentatively scheduled for May of 2026. At the finals, golfers will compete for a $10,000 purse and have a shot at a $1million putt!

Right after the 2023 World's Longest Putt Championship, the finalists took turns attempting to break the  World Record Longest Putt. On his last putt of the day, just before it was too dark to continue, Jay Stocki hit the 401.26 foot putt to set the world record!

On September 25, 2023, the 2023 WLP Finals were held at The Baths at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wisconsin. Mike Born of Downers Grove, Illinois, putted his way to the 2023 Championship!

On September 21, 2024, the 2024 WLP Finals were again held at the Baths. Darrell Beall of Tampa, Florida was the new champion!

At most qualifying events and charity outings, it costs between $5 and $20 to enter. Some courses and charity events are slightly higher.

To enter a regional event directly, the price is between $75 and $100, depending on the location.

We let each Qualifying Event partner choose their format. Typically, a golfer's score is the distance of their best putt out of three attempts. The putter with the lowest score at the end of the Qualifying Event earns a trip to compete in Regional Competition. If more than 1 person makes the putt, there is usually a putt-off to determine the winner.

Yes! Feel free to enter as many times as you would like at any Qualifying event. We encourage this because the proceeds are always going to a good cause! There are only two important points about multiple entries: 1) You must go to the back of the line after your turn. This can be a bit of a wait at some events, so if there is a line, it may be best to return later in the day. 2) If there is a goodie bag for entering at your local qualifier, you are entitled to only 1 goodie bag, regardless of how many times you enter. Sorry, but this is a rule put in place for our charity partners and sponsors.

If you are entering a regional event directly by paying the registration fee, you may enter only once.

Yes, winning a Local Qualifier allows you entry into one Regional Competition. To make things easier, we will allow each golfer to pick the Regional Competition that is most convenient for them.

Unfortunately, this season will only have regional and qualifying events in the United States. It is our plan to expand to Europe in 2026 and Asia in 2027.

Typically, the WLP events are rain or shine. That said, we will follow the course's direction and cancel if there weather conditions are too severe. Make sure to watch the web site or your email inbox for updated days and times of Qualifying Events.
