Beat the
Bomber
We’ll give fans a football field.
Can they beat the Bomber?
A mobile fan challenge series that drops World Long Drive athletes into college football season. This page is an early look for the partners we’d build it with. If it’s interesting, we’d like to talk.
A fan, a simulator,
and a 100-yard head start.
Step up
A fan enters the Beat the Bomber challenge at a mobile simulator.
Rip it
They hit up to three drives, with their best ball spotted a 100-yard head start: a full football field.
Beat the Bomber
Their number goes head to head with a WLD athlete's drive on the board.
It is a series, not a one-off. The pilot targets the late-fall college football window and the bowl period, with a routed set of stops so every element travels: the unit, the athlete, the board, the branding.
Three ways in.
Title Sponsor
- Series naming: Beat the Bomber presented by your brand
- Top billing across every stop, screen, clip and announcement
- Branded 100-yard head start graphic built into every hit and highlight
- First right of conversation for athlete integration and hospitality
- A recurring, portable series rather than a single activation
Supporting Sponsors
- Equipment, giveaways and on-site sampling inside the activation footprint
- Local and regional brand presence at individual stops
- Logo and product integration in stop-specific content and signage
- Lead capture, fan engagement and hospitality opportunities
- Flexible tiering so the program fits a range of budgets
Media & Distribution Partners
- Extend the story beyond the footprint through complementary distribution
- Access to WLD athletes, fan reactions and competition moments
- Select opportunities for co-created features and creator integrations
- Amplify WLD-produced content to new golf and sports audiences
The venue is already built. The crowd is already there.

Simple to execute.
The activation is the media. One footprint, one athlete, one mechanic that explains itself in five seconds, and a crowd that is already gathered and already filming.
Reach where attention already is
Tailgates concentrate tens of thousands of sports fans with high golf affinity in one place. You are not renting attention, you are stepping into it.
Awareness you can actually measure
Swings taken, fans registered, dwell time at the footprint, samples handed out, opt-ins captured, clips published and views earned, reported stop by stop.
Brand-consistent by design
The head start is the story, and it is yours to give. Your brand is in the graphic, on the board, in the callout and in every clip, without a forced tie-in.
Content that travels
Bombs, near misses, upsets and trash talk are inherently shareable. Short-form volume from every stop, plus longer features when a storyline earns it.
Easy to execute
The simulator operator brings the trailer, the tech and the crew. WLD brings the format and the athletes. You approve creative and show up.
Scales to your budget
Title the full series, or take a single market. Same mechanic, same look, same content output, sized to the spend that makes sense for you.
One more thing worth saying plainly
This isn't only a fan activation. Exceptional performances can put new long-drive talent on WLD's radar — creating a potential bridge from Beat the Bomber into the WLD competitive ecosystem.
Moving now.
The format, activation mechanics, and partner model are built. We are in market with partners now so a pilot run lands inside this college football regular season and playoffs.
Partner conversations underway with simulator operators, brands and golf media. Pilot strategy, market shortlist and creative framework in build.
Title and market partners confirmed, route and stop count locked, operator agreement in place, production and capture plan finalized.
Pilot stops run through the college football regular season and playoffs, with content publishing from stop one and results reported per market.
Getting in at this stage means shaping the format rather than inheriting it, and the series is portable beyond football: other major events, festivals and fan zones.
Is this something you’d
want in on?
