2022 Disc Golf Season Officially Takes Shape with New Schedule and Standards

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has made several important announcements to kick off the 2022 disc golf season. First, the organization has unveiled its schedule for A-Tier events, which is now available on its website. Additionally, the PDGA Tour Standards for 2022 have been released and will take effect on January 1, 2022.

PDGA state and provincial coordinators are now able to start processing requests from event organizers seeking approval for B-Tier and C-Tier events in 2022. The online sanctioning form has also been enabled, allowing pre-approved A-Tier directors and approved B- and C-Tier directors to submit their event information.

To ensure a smooth process, the PDGA is reminding event directors that they must be current members of the organization and certified as rules officials for the duration of their events. Furthermore, all A-Tier events are required to secure full sanctioning by December 1, 2021.

The 2022 PDGA Tour schedule currently consists of several major events, including The Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT), which kicks off at the Las Vegas Challenge on February 24 and culminates with the DGPT Championships in Charlotte, NC on October 13. The EuroTour also has a packed schedule, commencing at the Pro Forester in Varaždin, Croatia on March 4 and concluding at the Belgian Open in Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium on September 23.

Elite Series events have specific mileage restrictions to ensure fair competition: A-Tiers can host MPO and FPO divisions with up to 750 miles of travel, B-Tiers can host these divisions within a 250-mile radius, and C-Tiers can host them within a 175-mile radius.
