Memorial Championship Super Group Heats Up 2010 PDGA National Tour

The 2010 PDGA National Tour is set to get underway with a bang as the Memorial Championship Super Group takes center stage in Arizona. This elite group of players, including defending champion Nikko Locastro, growing rivals Avery Jenkins and Ken Climo, and top Arizona disc golfer Paul Ulibarri, will face off in the first round of competition.

For fans, the excitement is palpable as the PDGA and its broadcast partners Todocast.tv and E-Planet Media present the live coverage on DiscGolfPlanet.tv. Not only can viewers watch the action unfold in real-time, but they'll also be able to access archived footage just hours after the live broadcast, allowing them to relive their favorite moments at a time that suits them.

Locastro, who captured last year's Memorial Championship (now known as The Memorial Championship presented by Discraft) with an impressive display of skill and strategy, will be looking to repeat his success. However, this year may prove to be a different story as Locastro finds himself under intense scrutiny from both his competitors and the PDGA. Despite his impressive skills, some of Locastro's on-course emotional outbursts have raised eyebrows in the disc golf community.

Climo, the sport's highest-rated player, will be looking to prove that age is just a number as he takes on the younger guns in this year's NT. Jenkins, the reigning World Champion, will also be seeking redemption after taking a break from competition at the end of 2009. Ulibarri, who has been making waves with his home-state advantage and recent win at the Fountain Hills Thrills title, may prove to be the dark horse in this year's field.

On the women's side, Valarie Jenkins will be looking to claim her third consecutive Memorial Championship title, but she'll face stiff competition from Des Reading and Liz Lopez. The Gentlemen's Club Challenge saw Lopez best Jenkins by five throws, leaving some wondering if anyone can stop the disc golf juggernaut.

Disc golf enthusiasts are invited to escape the winter blues and catch all the action live on DiscGolfPlanet.tv by subscribing to their Live Internet broadcast.
