Disc Golf Charity Event Broadcasts Nationwide on Emerging Sports TV
Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has announced its partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on a groundbreaking new initiative to raise awareness and funds for the hospital's patients. The partnership culminated in the broadcast TV debut of the St. Jude Disc Golf Invitational tournament, which aired over the weekend on Emerging Sports TV.
The event, held in May at the Bayonet and Black Horse golf facility in Seaside, California, was a collaborative effort between the PDGA, top manufacturers in the disc golf industry, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to create a platform for charitable giving and community building within the disc golf community. The initiative not only resulted in a substantial donation of over $250,000 to St. Jude but also shed light on the growing potential of disc golf as a force for social good.
Emerging Sports TV, founded by Dr. John G. Duesler Jr., is a pioneering sports broadcasting platform that showcases regional, national, and world championship events from various disciplines, including disc golf, curling, mountain biking, slacklining, motor sports, and more. By featuring these niche sports alongside more traditional sports coverage, Emerging Sports TV aims to raise awareness and marketability for this unique category of competition.
The broadcast of the St. Jude Disc Golf Invitational is part of a larger series of episodes on Emerging Sports TV, which has already gained significant traction with its first season. The show will continue to be broadcast throughout September across 21 regional cable TV sports affiliates, including Comcast SportsNets in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Michigan, as well as Cox Cable affiliate in San Diego, Altitude TV, Tuff TV, and international channels.
To stay up-to-date on the latest broadcast schedule, viewers can visit EmergingSports.tv or check their local listings for specific times and dates. The show will also be available online at EmergingSports.tv later this month.
The broadcast schedule includes a variety of episodes featuring various sports and events, including disc golf, curling, and mountain biking championships. Specific airtimes for the St. Jude Disc Golf Invitational can be found in the accompanying broadcast schedule.
The PDGA's partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a testament to the charitable spirit and community-building potential of disc golf. As the sport continues to grow and gain recognition, initiatives like this one will play a crucial role in raising awareness and funds for worthy causes.
