Disc Golf Elite Converge on Twin Cities for Thrilling Showdown
Date Published
The Minnesota Majestic, a legendary stop on the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) National Tour, is set to take center stage this weekend in the Twin Cities. This year marks the 22nd edition of the event, which has become synonymous with high-stakes competition and dramatic finishes.
Minnesota's rich history in disc golf is well-documented, from the formation of the Minnesota Frisbee Association in 1975 to hosting the PDGA Professional World Championships in 2001. The state's unique combination of challenging terrain and unpredictable weather patterns has earned it a reputation as one of the toughest environments on the tour.
As the sixth stop on this year's National Tour, the Minnesota Majestic promises to be a thrilling showdown between some of the world's top disc golfers. Defending champions Ken Climo and Valarie Jenkins will face stiff competition from reigning PDGA World Champion David Feldberg, as well as World number one Nate Doss and other contenders.
The event boasts an impressive lineup, with four-time Minnesota Majestic champion Barry Schultz looking to regain his title against Climo's challenge. Other notable players in the field include 2009 Masters Cup Champion Gregg Barsby, Avery Jenkins, Steve Rico, Josh Anthon, and Minnesota native Cale Leiviska.
On the women's side of competition, Valarie Jenkins will look to defend her 2008 Minnesota Majestic title against challengers like Des Reading, who is seeking to narrow the gap between herself and Jenkins in the Woodchuck Drive for the Championship NT points standings. Liz Lopez and Katy Schreder will also be vying for a top spot on the leaderboard.
The competition will unfold over three days, with Friday's action taking place at Blue Ribbon Pines course in East Bethel, Saturday's play moving to the renowned Kaposia Park course, and Sunday's final round and nine holes being contested at Hyland Ski and Snow Area in Bloomington.
