Idlewild Open Kicks Off with a Star-Studded Roster
Date Published
The highly anticipated Idlewild Open is set to kick off this Friday, marking the beginning of the disc golf season's most challenging stretch. As one of the toughest courses on the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) circuit, Idlewild has earned a reputation for its winding creeks, labyrinthine tunnels, and signature artificial turf greens.
Over the years, the course has witnessed some of the sport's most thrilling victories, including James Conrad's stunning upset over Paul McBeth in 2017 and Kevin Jones' comeback win against late-round pressure in 2019. This year, a new champion will emerge to join the ranks of DGPT lore.
To keep up with all the action, fans can rely on an array of comprehensive coverage options. The Disc Golf Network (DGN) is set to provide live streaming services, featuring a stacked broadcast team including Jamie Thomas as anchor and multi-time PDGA World Champions Nate Doss and Valarie Jenkins providing expert color commentary. New subscribers can take advantage of the DGN's 50% discount for active PDGA members, bringing the monthly cost down to just $4.49.
Live coverage will commence every day at 1:35 p.m. ET, with the option to catch up on post-produced content later in the week. Sunday's final round will also be simulcast on the DGPT YouTube channel, allowing fans to participate in real-time discussion and commentary.
In addition to live streaming, various production teams will be on hand to capture the essence of the event.
