National Tour Schedule Unveiled for 2020 Season
Date Published
The PDGA National Tour has unveiled its schedule for the 2020 season, offering a mix of familiar faces and new challenges for top disc golfers. The tour kicks off in March with the Texas State Disc Golf Championships presented by Latitude 64 in Tyler, Texas, and concludes in September with the Music City Open presented by Dynamic Discs in Nashville, Tennessee.
One of the most anticipated events on the schedule is the Dynamic Discs Glass Blown Open, which returns to Emporia, Kansas, after a successful run in 2019. However, this year's event will feature a new layout, combining two courses into one, providing players with an even greater challenge.
The Beaver State Fling, held in Estacada, Oregon, also undergoes significant changes, dropping the shotgun start format and incorporating player feedback to create a more spectator-friendly experience. Meanwhile, the Delaware Disc Golf Challenge in Newark, Delaware, promises to provide some of the most grueling terrain on the tour, with Iron Hill's notorious layout pushing players to their limits.
The Santa Cruz Masters Cup, celebrating its 35th year, returns to DeLaveaga Park and DeLaveaga Golf Course in Santa Cruz, California. With a focus on consistency, new Tournament Director Matt Beatty aims to keep the event running smoothly while making some minor improvements to the golf course.
As part of its partnership with the Disc Golf Pro Tour, the PDGA has worked collaboratively to create a schedule that balances travel needs and competition levels. The United States Women's Disc Golf Championship, previously scheduled for July, now takes place in May thanks to the flexibility of the host team in Placer Valley, California.
Throughout the season, top players will face off against each other on some of the most challenging courses in the world. With a strong lineup of events and a new schedule, the 2020 PDGA National Tour promises to be an exciting year for disc golf enthusiasts.
