Disc Golf Planet Brings the Thrill to Fans Worldwide with Live Coverage
Date Published
Disc golf fans around the world are in for a treat as Disc Golf Planet's (DGP) TV channel gears up to bring unparalleled coverage of the 2012 Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) World Championships. The highly anticipated event, which has already sold out its record-breaking field in Charlotte, North Carolina, will be broadcast live on DGPtv from July 8-14.
"This is the biggest stage for our sport," said John Duesler, Principal at Disc Golf Planet. "We're committed to delivering an exceptional viewing experience with the largest production team and most extensive coverage of any PDGA World Championships so far."
The event will kick off on Sunday evening with a putting competition at Renaissance Park's tennis complex, where some of this year's world champions will be crowned. A press conference is scheduled for Monday afternoon, followed by the opening ceremonies at The Blake Hotel.
Throughout the week, DGPtv will broadcast morning and afternoon rounds from Tuesday to Friday, showcasing individual competitors in 24 divisions. Each night, a recap show will summarize the day's action from 9:30pm to 10pm ET. The coverage culminates on Championship Saturday with wall-to-wall broadcasting of all divisional finals.
For those unable to attend the event in person, DGPtv offers exclusive pay-per-view coverage via its website. Viewers can choose from four different pricing options to suit their budget. As an added bonus, fans who sign up now will have access to archived footage from past PDGA World Championships, including the 2003, 2004, and 2007 events.
Last year's broadcast of the PDGA World Championships reached a massive audience of over 34,000 unique viewers in 147 countries. With this year's event expected to draw an even larger crowd, Disc Golf Planet is poised to deliver another record-breaking viewing experience.
