In the future, it feels like the schedule release for the Disc Golf Pro Tour should come up with a fun video idea like the professional teams do for some of their schedule releases. Having a straight up press release is good, but they really could have more fun with it.
The 2025 schedule released on August 15th with some noticeable differences in the schedule for the 10 year anniversary of the Pro Tour. The biggest standout in my initial reaction is that Jonesboro Open and Dynamic Discs Open are not tour events, but will return in 2026. It sounds like the tour might be moving towards this model where they might alternate locations every year or so and I think that is great given the growth and the need to reach more markets. Personally, I love checking out new courses as they arrive on tour.
The 2025 schedule will consist of 24 events, starting in Florida and ending back on the East Coast in October. In between, they will travel to Texas, the West Coast, Midwest, and Europe. Once again, the tour will have the European stretch where several tournaments will take place. Five events will be on the DGPT Europe stretch plus the two majors separated by two weeks. Honestly, that is the only part of the schedule I’m truly bummed out by. Having two majors that close together is tough and I wish there was a way to make it work. But I’m sure this is something that was thought about for a length of time and this is the best way to have players from the US and Europe compete in both without sacrificing the events back in the States.
A couple additions find their way to the tour, including the Kansas Wide Open and the Cascade Challenge. Both were Q-Series events this year and while I didn’t watch the KWO, I know it is a long standing event with a ton of history. I have watched a lot of the Cascade Challenge the past two years and I love that course and love that they are making their way all the way up to Washington. In addition, on the West Coast, you have Stockton, CA as the location for Champions Cup Major, so OTB will not be officially on the tour this year. And the Northwest Disc Gold Challenge will be in Portland, combining Glendoveer and Milo McIver Disc Golf Courses, which I am super excited about. Those two as DGPT+ event will be incredible to watch.
Many of the other events will remain the same throughout the year, but the big change at the end of the year is that the playoff event, still presented by Barbasol, will be taking place in Lynchburg, Virginia, the site of this years World Championships. Hopefully this weekend proves to be an excellent viewing and disc golf experience and the decision to stay in Lynchburg pays off.
With the 10th season of the Pro Tour as well, there are special season passes that the DGPT is offering. A Gold Season Pass for $1,300, a Silver Season Pass for $700, and a Bronze Season Pass for $300. There are definitely some great perks to each pass and the quantities are limited, so get your ticket and find more information HERE. I’ll be interested to see if they do sell out because I can’t see that many people traveling to each event to follow around, but I supposed if you are in a general nucleus of a bunch of events, say in Texas, the Northwest, or the East Coast, there could be value here.
On to Worlds starting this Wednesday, August 21st. Look out for a preview tomorrow afternoon. Let it rip!
