Bids Open for 2025 PDGA Majors, With Exciting Opportunities Ahead

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is now accepting proposals from potential hosts for its 2025 major events. This includes some of the sport's most prestigious tournaments, such as the US Women's Disc Golf Championship, the Masters World Championships, and the Amateur Disc Golf World Championships. The PDGA has also already awarded a two-year commitment to host the Junior Disc Golf World Championships.

The bidding process for these high-profile events will run from July 3 through November 1, 2023. The PDGA is seeking experienced hosts who can provide a world-class experience for competitors and spectators alike. To increase the chances of success, the association has prioritized specific major events to avoid geographic conflicts and promote balanced opportunities.

In an effort to clarify any confusion regarding national championship titles, the PDGA will award national titles to all female divisions at the US Women's Disc Golf Championships. This means that winners of female-only divisions at other National Championship events are not considered national champions. Instead, their victories would be recognized as regional achievements.

The growth and improvements in disc golf over recent years have led to increased interest in hosting major championships. According to PDGA Director of Operations Doug Bjerkaas, the sport's future is "bright," with expectations for continued growth and improvement. The association encourages bids from around the world, including experienced disc golf clubs, non-profit businesses, and individuals working with community sports commissions or facilities owners.

All bids will be thoroughly reviewed by PDGA staff and the Board of Directors to select a suitable host based on factors such as experience running large sanctioned events, suitability of facilities, proximity of courses to each other, and more. The bid packages for the 2025 PDGA Majors can be viewed and downloaded from the documents section at the bottom of the PDGA Major Events page.

By awarding bids by the end of 2023, hosts will have ample time to prepare for these high-profile events, ensuring a top-notch experience for all competitors, supporters, and spectators. The PDGA extends its gratitude to dedicated volunteers, tournament directors, event sponsors, city hosts, and everyone involved in making these events possible, looking forward to the future of these great PDGA Major Championships!
