Host a Prestigious Disc Golf Event with PDGA's 2026-2027 Bid Opportunities

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has announced that it will be accepting proposals from June 3 to October 1, 2024, to host its prestigious PDGA Major events in 2026 and 2027. This is a unique opportunity for cities, organizations, or individuals to showcase their expertise and passion for disc golf on a global stage.

The PDGA Majors include the United States Women's Disc Golf Championship, the Tim Selinske U.S. Masters Championship, the Amateur Disc Golf World Championships, the Masters Disc Golf World Championships, the Junior World Championships, and the Professional Disc Golf World Championships. The association will be accepting bids for both 2026 and 2027 events simultaneously, with a focus on providing more balanced and viable opportunities for hosts.

If there are no suitable bids received for 2027, all submissions will be considered for 2026, and new bid documents for 2027 will be released in 2025. The PDGA aims to reduce the potential for geographic conflict by prioritizing events that offer unique and exciting experiences for competitors, supporters, and spectators.

The PDGA is also clarifying its policies regarding national titles awarded at multiple National Championship events. The association will award national titles to all female divisions at the U.S. Women's Disc Golf Championships, which takes precedence over winners in those divisions at the U.S. Masters.

According to PDGA Director of Competition Rebecca Duffy, "The PDGA is looking forward to accepting bids for 2026 and 2027. The change will allow our Operations and Logistics team to evaluate locations and organizing committees more thoroughly." The association encourages bids from around the world and seeks hosts with experience running large, sanctioned disc golf events.

All bid submissions are reviewed by PDGA staff and the Board of Directors, who select a host based on factors such as experience, facilities, and proximity of courses/venues. The 2026-2027 PDGA Majors Bid Packages can be viewed and downloaded from the PDGA Major events page.

By awarding bids in January 2025, the eventual hosts will have ample time to ensure a high-quality experience for all competitors, supporters, and spectators. The PDGA expresses its gratitude to the dedicated volunteers, tournament directors, event sponsors, city hosts, and everyone involved in making these events possible, and looks forward to the future of these great championships.
