Two-time world champion Tim Burke reveals all about his journey into the sport, the fitness regime required to compete in the Long Drive World Series and his future ambitions.

The 31-year-old American, who derives from a baseball-playing background, turned out to be a Long Drive natural and has previously recorded a whopping 469-yard shot off the tee.

He said: “For me, a lot of it is upper-body separation from pitching and training in the gym. I do rotational power work every Tuesday and Thursday, and more linear power with rotation each Monday and Friday. It’s a whole process and I am competing a lot this year… hopefully I will win my third world championship.”
