Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association is thrilled to announce its 2013 PDGA Major Events calendar, which promises to be one of the most exciting seasons yet for disc golf enthusiasts around the world. This year's schedule boasts a diverse range of tournaments that cater to different skill levels and interests.
One of the highlights of the season will be the European Open, which returns to Nokia, Finland under the expert direction of Jussi Meresma. As one of the premier international events on the PDGA calendar, the European Open welcomes top players from across the globe to compete in this prestigious tournament, held every other year and alternating with the European Championship.
Meanwhile, Denmark will host its first-ever major event, the Copenhagen Open, directed by Sinus Frank. This esteemed event has traditionally been one of the standout tournaments on the PDGA EuroTour each year and will be part of European Disc Golf Month, a new initiative currently in development. As more information becomes available about this innovative project, fans can start making plans for their 2013 trip to Europe.
In the United States, several major events are also scheduled to take place. The U.S. Women's Disc Golf Championship will be held in Portland, Oregon under the guidance of Rebecca Duffy. This highly anticipated tournament is being hosted by a city that has already proven itself as a hub for women's disc golf, with its popular "Chick Flick" event drawing record crowds.
The PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships are set to take place in Emporia, Kansas from July 7-14, 2013. Directed by Jeremy Rusco and his company Dynamic Discs, which has earned a reputation for hosting top-tier disc golf events across the country, this tournament promises to be an unforgettable experience.
The PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships will return to Crown Point, Indiana in August 2013, with Brian Cummings once again at the helm as tournament director. The event will take place on familiar grounds, with players returning to the Lemon Lake County Park, which is currently undergoing significant development to include a fifth championship course.
The Tim Selinske U.S. Masters Championships are also scheduled for 2013, although a host city has yet to be announced and an official decision is pending. Fans can look forward to hearing more about this exciting tournament in the coming weeks.
As we celebrate these PDGA Major Events, we would like to extend our congratulations and support to the host communities involved, as well as other locations that will be hosting their own major tournaments throughout the year.
