Global Disc Golf Competition Kicks Off for Seniors Worldwide
Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association has launched a groundbreaking year-long competition series for disc golf enthusiasts worldwide. The PDGA Global Masters Series is designed specifically for members aged 40 or older, offering an opportunity for players of all skill levels to engage with others from around the globe. By participating in C-Tier or higher sanctioned events, players can earn points towards their ranking on leaderboards designated by age and gender.
This innovative competition allows players to compete against each other regardless of geographical location, making it possible to test skills against international opponents without having to travel far. The Global Masters Series will track the top eight round ratings from every eligible member, providing a comprehensive leaderboard that showcases individual progress throughout the year.
For current PDGA members born in 1983 or earlier, their profile will automatically be included in the Global Masters leaderboard based on age, gender, and classification. However, players can opt out of the competition by contacting the PDGA at any time if they prefer not to participate. Leaderboards are organized according to specific age brackets, with players listed on the most relevant board depending on their age and skill level.
For instance, a professional-class player aged 57 who competes in gender-based divisions would be ranked on the "Pro Women 55-59" leaderboard. This structure ensures that participants compete against others within their age range and skill bracket, fostering a more inclusive and competitive environment.
The PDGA Global Masters Series promises to bring together disc golf enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds and locations, creating an exciting platform for players to share experiences, learn from one another, and improve their skills throughout the year.
