Sandra Carlborg is the queen of women's long drive, as the Swede picked up her fifth World Long Drive Championship in September 2017, beating Heather Manfredda in the final in Oklahoma.

The Swede took over the title from Phillis Meti, earning the huge first-place prize. Carlborg, 33, has played on the Ladies European Tour and is a professional golfer by trade, too. Her brother, Peter, is also a long driver.
