Rumble in Reno Is One Week Away: Eight of the World’s Best Long Drivers Meet on ESPN2
One week from tonight, long drive gets loud. Rumble in Reno, a King of the Hill long drive competition featuring eight of the best hitters in the world, airs Sunday, November 15 at 10 PM ET on ESPN2.
How it Works
The eight athletes are split into two groups of four, Group A and Group B. Each athlete hits one six-ball set, and their longest valid ball sets their ranking within the group. When group play ends, the top performer from Group A and the top performer from Group B advance to a head-to-head final, alternating six balls each.
It’s short, fast and high stakes. There’s no hiding behind a second round. Every ball counts, and one big swing can change the whole board.
Meet the Field
The field has a little of everything. There’s a former World Long Drive Champion in Justin James, a 6'7" ex-college baseball player in TJ Baker, rookie Logan Schott, and Reno’s own Press Labrie playing in his backyard. Choi Jonghwan traveled all the way from South Korea to take on the field.
Group A: TJ Baker (Ontario, Canada), Trevor Scott (Ohio), Will Hogue (Tennessee) and Connor Sterritt (California).
Group B: Justin James (Florida), Press Labrie (Reno, Nevada), Logan Schott (Indiana) and Choi Jonghwan (South Korea).
What to Expect
Huge drives, for starters. This field hits the ball more than 400 yards, and the grid at Wildcreek Golf Course sets up beautifully against the Sierra Nevada mountains. Add a packed, loud crowd and the athletes mic’d up, and you get a front-row seat to the personality, trash talk and nerves that make long drive different from any other sport.
It’s a fast, fun broadcast with a beautiful scenic location in Nevada, and the kind of competition you have to watch live.

Na, wer kennt das? Man nimmt sich vor, nur fünf Minuten im Internet zu verbringen, und plötzlich ist eine halbe Stunde weg. Bei mir passierte das neulich nach einer Unterhaltung über Online-Poker. Ich wollte wissen, was es sonst noch für Casinospiele gibt, und landete bei bitkingz game . Ich finde Slots ganz interessant, wenn ich mich nicht lange konzentrieren möchte, während Poker für mich eher etwas für ruhigere Momente ist. Ich habe mich ein wenig umgesehen und war mit meinem Eindruck zufrieden. Danach musste ich allerdings wirklich den Laptop zuklappen.
