MYRTLE BEACH, SC, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ultimate Long Drive, Inc.

This partnership marks the establishment of the first official Longest Drive league in the nation, providing new opportunities for local athletes to compete on a global stage while positioning Puerto Rico as a hub for the sport in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Under the agreement, JRO Events will organize and host ULD-sanctioned leagues, tournaments, and qualifying events across Puerto Rico.

"With the support of Ultimate Long Drive, Inc. we are not only creating new opportunities for local athletes, but we are also building a bridge to Latin America and the Caribbean.
