Partners in Disc Golf Excellence: PDGA and NADGT Renew Partnership for 2026
Date Published

As the world of disc golf continues to grow in popularity, two leading organizations are teaming up once again to make the sport more accessible and enjoyable for enthusiasts everywhere. The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) and the National Amateur Disc Golf Tour (NADGT) have announced their renewed partnership for the 2026 season, building on a shared vision of providing meaningful and welcoming competition for amateur disc golfers.
The success of NADGT can be attributed to its innovative approach to event planning. By offering a wide range of amateur divisions, creating festival-style atmospheres, and prioritizing player experience, NADGT has managed to strike the perfect balance between fun and competition. This formula has proven incredibly effective in introducing thousands of new players to tournament disc golf, many of whom have become lifelong enthusiasts.
One of the key factors contributing to NADGT's success is its commitment to accessibility. In 2026, the organization will be expanding its offerings by introducing MA4 and FA4 divisions, providing even more opportunities for newer players to take part in organized competition. This supportive environment has helped create a sense of confidence among first-time competitors, allowing them to grow and develop their skills.
The 2026 season promises to be just as exciting as the previous one, with events scheduled throughout the United States and Canada. The highlight of the season will undoubtedly be the NADGT North American Disc Golf Championships in Austin, Texas, which will bring together nearly 1,000 players for a week-long celebration of disc golf. Additionally, the NADGT Junior North American Disc Golf Championships will take place in Tulsa, Oklahoma from June 5-7, showcasing the organization's continued commitment to junior development and the future of the sport.
As the PDGA and NADGT continue their partnership into the new season, it's clear that the future of amateur disc golf looks brighter than ever. With a renewed focus on inclusivity, accessibility, and player experience, these two organizations are working together to make the sport more enjoyable for enthusiasts of all skill levels.
