2024 PDGA Majors Call for Hosts: Bid Packages Now Open
Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has announced that it will accept host bids for its 2024 major events from July 5 to November 1, 2022. The PDGA is seeking experienced disc golf clubs, non-profit businesses, and individuals or organizations with a track record of running large-scale disc golf events to submit their proposals.
The bid packages for the 2024 PDGA Major events are now available on the PDGA website. These packages outline the requirements and expectations for hosting each event, including the United States Women's Disc Golf Championship, the Tim Selinske U.S. Masters Championship, the Junior Disc Golf World Championships, and more.
In an effort to balance geographic representation and provide more opportunities for hosts, the PDGA will prioritize bids from specific regions when necessary. If no viable bids are received from a particular region or if multiple bids come from areas that are too close together, the PDGA may choose not to host certain events in those years.
To clarify the hierarchy of national titles, the PDGA will award national championships to all female divisions at the United States Women's Disc Golf Championships. This means that winners of female-only divisions at other National Championship events will not receive national title status.
According to PDGA Director of Operations Michael Downes, "We're excited to see the growth and demand for our major events. The future looks bright, and we can't wait to review bids from around the world."
To be considered as a host for one of the 2024 PDGA Major events, applicants must demonstrate experience running large-scale disc golf events, provide suitable facilities, and meet other requirements outlined in the bid packages.
The deadline for submitting host bids is November 1, 2022. By awarding the bid by the end of this year, the eventual hosts will have ample time to prepare a high-quality experience for competitors, supporters, and spectators alike.
We want to extend our gratitude to all the dedicated volunteers, tournament directors, event sponsors, city hosts, and everyone involved in making these events possible. We look forward to continuing to grow and improve the PDGA Major Championships!
