PDGA Announces Major Events for 2019, Showcasing Women's Disc Golf and Community Spirit

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has announced the host cities for its major events in 2019, featuring a mix of returning champions and new locations. The PDGA Major Events are premier national and international competitions that bring top players from around the world to compete for World and National Titles in multiple skill, age, and gender-based divisions.

One of the highlights of the 2019 schedule is the 2019 PDGA United States Women's Disc Golf Championship (USWDGC), which will be held in Spotsylvania, Virginia. The event will feature a strong focus on women's disc golf, with the hope of raising awareness about domestic violence through a partnership with Empowerhouse, a nonprofit organization that empowers survivors of domestic violence and their children.

The USWDGC will take place in September 2019 at three private courses: Cannon Ridge, Hawk Hollow, and Loriella Park. The proposed host team has already begun installing new turf tee pads at each course, and is developing an extensive event schedule with fun and engaging side events for all competitors.

Spotsylvania, Virginia, is a hotbed of women's disc golf activity, with the largest women's disc golf scene in the world. The proposed TD for the 2019 event is Jeff Shattuck, who will be supported by a team of experienced organizers, including Bob Cannon and John Biscoe.

Another major event taking place in 2019 is the PDGA Tim Selinske United States Masters Championships, which will be held in Worcester, Massachusetts. The event will feature play at both Maple Hill Farm and Newton Hill Park, with the support of local disc golf clubs and Discover Central Massachusetts.

The Amateur Disc Golf World Championships will also take place in York County, Pennsylvania, and will utilize a variety of courses, including Gifford Pinchot State Park and Codorus State Park. The event will be directed by Chas Ford, with assistance from South Central PA Disc Golf, LLC, and the Gifford Pinchot Disc Golf Club.

In addition to these events, the PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships will return to Emporia, Kansas, for a second consecutive year. The event will take place in July 2019 at courses managed by Dynamic Discs.

The Professional Masters Disc Golf World Championships will be held in Jeffersonville, Vermont, and will feature play on two impressive disc golf courses: Brewster Ridge and Fox Run. The event will be hosted by Jeff Spring, with support from the resort staff, the Green Mountain Disc Golf Club, and local businesses.

The PDGA is excited to announce its 2019 major events schedule, which promises to bring together top players and communities around the world. These events showcase the best of disc golf and demonstrate the sport's growing popularity and community spirit.

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) would like to extend its gratitude to all the host cities and organizations that have worked tirelessly to make these events possible. With their dedication and support, the PDGA is confident that 2019 will be an exciting year for disc golf enthusiasts around the world.
