🏆 The Grid Championship 2024 – Colton Casto (#1) vs. Thorne Van Zyl (South Africa Record Holder)

World #1 Colton Casto battles South Africa’s record-holder Thorne Van Zyl in a thrilling grid showdown!

On December 7, under the dazzling lights and lasers of Johannesburg, South Africa, with a fierce wind blowing into their faces, two competitors stepped onto the illuminated grid to battle for ultimate supremacy.

Thorne “Thor” Van Zyl, South Africa’s reigning long drive champion, brings hometown pride and an incredible pedigree to the competition. Known for holding the national record with a staggering 479-meter (524-yard) drive achieved in Alberton, Thorne is a force to be reckoned with.

Facing him is Colton Casto, the current World #1 ranked long driver, who balances his athletic career with the rugged life of a king crab fisherman in Dutch Harbor. Colton hones his skills by launching massive drives off the deck during downtime, bringing raw power and unmatched intensity to the grid.

This clash of a hometown hero versus the world’s best long driver is a must-watch as these two powerhouses, with their unique backgrounds and exceptional talents, battle for grid supremacy.

Match Rules: This match unfolds over three intense 2:30-minute rounds, with each round increasing in stakes: Round 1 awards 1 point, Round 2 doubles to 2 points, and Round 3 decides it all with 3 points on the line. Adding to the drama, a massive illuminated hole sits 380 yards away—any competitor who hits it wins the match immediately, no matter the score.
