Get to Know Ryan Reisbeck: Road to Reno, Episode 2

The Road to Reno Podcast is World Long Drive's new interview series, going behind the scenes with the athletes chasing a title at this October's 2026 World Long Drive Championship in Reno, Nevada. Episode 2 sits down with Senior Division standout Ryan Reisbeck.



Ryan Reisbeck has done nearly every job World Long Drive has to offer. He's competed at the top of two divisions, called balls from behind the tee box, and founded his own qualifying event from scratch, and on Episode 2 of Road to Reno, he's walking through how all of it happened.


Reisbeck is the 2023 Senior Division World Champion and the current World Number One ranked player in the Senior Division. He's also, according to WLD VP of Operations Mike Ambriz, the only player to have held the World Number One ranking in both the Open and Senior Divisions since rankings began in 2016.


But the most surprising part of his story isn't the ranking, it's how he got into the sport at all. Reisbeck told us how a single round of golf with friends in 2010, a borrowed driver, and a wild coincidence at his local driving range two days later put him on a path to the top of long drive. Watch the full episode to hear it in his own words.


The episode also covers his 2023 championship win, the heartbreak of finishing runner-up in 2024 and 2025, his training goals heading into this October's World Championship in Reno, and yes, the story behind his red pants.

요즘 Nano Banana Pro를 쓰고 있어요. Pro 버전은 더 복잡한 프롬프트를 잘 처리하고 결과물도 더 선명해요. 여전히 Gemini 기반이고요. 로컬 설정 없이 컨셉 아트나 스타일 실험하기 좋아요.

Got recommended Arena King by a coworker and the strategy games on there are pretty engaging. You can sink a surprising amount of time into the kingdom-building ones. Runs well in the browser without needing to download anything.
