Berkshire defeated Tim Burke in the championship match to win the 44th World Long Drive Championship on September 4, 2019 in Thackerville, Oklahoma. Berkshire won the first-ever PLDA National Championship in 2020 at 383 yards after an organisational shift (Comcast, the World Long Drive Association’s owners, shut down World Long Drive Association). With three straight season-ending long drive tour victories under his belt, he successfully defended the PLDA Championship (now the PLDA World Championship) in 2021.
