Bryson DeChambeau to compete in long-drive championship two days after Ryder Cup

Will Bryson DeChambeau be crowned the longest driver in the world? Likely not, but he will at least compete for the title.

DeChambeau announced Sunday via social media that he has accepted an invite to compete in the Professional Long Drivers Association World Championships, which will be contested Sept. 28-Oct. 1 at Mesquite Sports Complex in Mesquite, Nevada.

"This is an amazing opportunity to grow the game and the sport in general," DeChambeau wrote on Instagram. "I want to show the world how incredibly talented and hard-working these athletes are. I've been working hard to get my game up to their speeds, so I have a chance, but will still continue to play my best golf with my regular day job.
