DGPT All-Star Weekend Kicks Off Thrilling 2021 Season with Action-Packed Exhibition Event

The anticipation is building ahead of what promises to be an electrifying 2021 season, and the Disc Golf Pro Tour's All-Star Weekend is just the beginning. This two-day exhibition event, featuring 16 of the world's top players at a familiar venue, is set to get your heart racing and leave you primed for the first weekend of action.

The field is stacked with talent, as the top players from the 2020 Disc Golf Pro Tour have been invited to compete. The seeding is based on their final standings from last season, ensuring that only the best of the best make it onto the course.

In the Men's Professional Division (MPO), some of the biggest names in the sport are looking to make a statement. Paul McBeth, Calvin Heimburg, Ricky Wysocki, and Eagle McMahon are just a few of the talented players who will be vying for top honors. They'll be joined by James Conrad, Chris Dickerson, Kevin Jones, Garrett Gurthie, and more.

The ladies aren't to be outdone either, as Paige Pierce, Catrina Allen, Sarah Hokom, Hailey King, Missy Gannon, Jessica Weese, Kona Panis, and Heather Young all look to shine in the Women's Professional Division (FPO).

But what really sets this event apart is its unique format. Saturday's action will be played as doubles, with each pair competing using a "Best Shot" format for the front nine holes and "Tough Shot" on the back nine. The scores from these matches will then carry over into Sunday's singles competition.

The players will take on a challenging safari layout at the historic Fountain Hills Disc Golf Course in Arizona. Each round will feature two runs through the modified course, providing plenty of opportunities for drama and excitement.

If you can't make it to the course in person, don't worry – the All-Star Weekend will air exclusively on the Disc Golf Network. Live coverage begins each day at 1 p.m. EST, with commentary from Nate Doss, Valarie Doss, and Terry Miller, as well as sideline reporting from Jamie Thomas.

And if you're a PDGA member, be sure to take advantage of the discounted rate for streaming the event live on the Disc Golf Network – it's just $4.49/month with a 50% discount for active members. You can also follow the action live on UDisc in the app or online at UDiscLive.com.

This weekend is just a primer, however, as the real action gets underway with the PDGA Elite Series kicking off on February 25th at the Las Vegas Challenge. But for now, buckle up and get ready for an unforgettable exhibition event that's sure to leave you eager for more.
