Disc Golf's Premier Amateur Tour Returns with Exciting Changes and Opportunities

The National Amateur Disc Golf Tour (NADGT) is back in 2020, and it's bigger and better than ever. With a new name and a wider reach, this premier amateur tour is set to attract players from all over the country. After a year marked by disruption and uncertainty, NADGT is poised to provide a much-needed boost to the disc golf community.

One of the most significant changes for 2020 is the addition of two new divisions: MA2 and MA50. These divisions will cater to intermediate and recreational players, providing them with a platform to compete against others at their level. The tour has also introduced improved player packs valued at $75, which include exclusive merchandise, gear, and other perks.

But that's not all - NADGT is also introducing a new online competition called Circle-1-Hundred. This innovative format allows players to compete from the comfort of their own homes, with the option to start competing for as little as $10. The finals will be live-streamed with professional commentary, and players can earn their way into the national championships by qualifying at local events or accumulating points through multiple tournaments.

NADGT's Competition Director, Kyle Maute, emphasized the tour's commitment to supporting competition while also prioritizing player safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. "We want to support competition, but we also want to support staying at home and reducing the spread of COVID-19 while enjoying disc golf," he said.

The 2020 NADGT National Championships will take place on October 29-November 1 at the world-renowned Roy G. Guerrero course in Austin, Texas. The tournament format will be modeled after PDGA Majors, with one round per day and published tee times. Players can earn cash prizes, exclusive merchandise, and other rewards by competing in local events or accumulating points through multiple tournaments.

NADGT has also implemented new policies to benefit tournament directors, including completing and processing TD reports, setting up Disc Golf Scene pages, paying sanctioning fees and player fees, and assuming financial risks. This will allow TDs to organize events with no out-of-pocket expenses and earn cash and merchandise rewards based on player turnout.

The tour is grateful for the support of its new and returning sponsors, including some of the most recognizable brands in disc golf. With a revamped format, increased prize money, and innovative online competitions, NADGT 2020 is set to be an exciting year for amateur players of all levels.
