Bid Deadline Looms for 2019 PDGA Majors Events
Date Published
The clock is ticking for those interested in hosting a prestigious PDGA Major Event in 2019. The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has announced that proposals will only be accepted until November 1, 2017. This tight deadline allows potential hosts sufficient time to ensure a top-notch experience for competitors, sponsors, and spectators alike.
Five highly coveted events are up for grabs: the PDGA United States Women's Disc Golf Championships, PDGA Tim Selinske United States Masters Championships, PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships, PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships (to be held in Emporia, Kansas), PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships, and PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships. The competition will be fierce, with only one bid accepted per event.
To host a 2019 PDGA Major Event, proposers must submit a comprehensive bid package, which can be found on the PDGA's website. Potential hosts include nonprofit businesses, individuals working in partnership with local sports commissions or visitor's bureaus, and facilities owners. Experience running large-scale disc golf events is not a prerequisite for submitting a bid.
However, all bids will undergo rigorous review by the PDGA Staff and Board of Directors. The selection process considers factors such as the proposer's experience, suitability of facilities, and proximity of courses to each other. Proposers must submit their completed bid packages by November 1, 2017, to be considered.
The PDGA is grateful for the dedication of its volunteers, Tournament Directors, event sponsors, city hosts, and everyone else who contributes to making these events a success. As the organization looks forward to the future of its Major Disc Golf Championships, it encourages interested parties to submit their proposals before the deadline.
