Texas Disc Golf Showdown: Elite Players Converge on Tyler
Date Published
The highly anticipated PDGA National Tour has finally arrived in Tyler, Texas, with a star-studded lineup of players set to clash at the 26th Annual Texas State Disc Golf Championship presented by Latitude 64. This year's schedule marks a significant return for the tour, which was forced to cancel events due to the COVID-19 pandemic last season.
The Dogwood Course at Lindsey Park is ready to put the world's best disc golfers to the test with its heavily wooded terrain and precise demands. Players will need to demonstrate exceptional skill and strategy to navigate the challenging 18-hole track. Those who falter will face punishment in the form of lost strokes and disappointed fans.
The action won't just be limited to on-course drama, as live coverage is set to captivate audiences worldwide. The Disc Golf Network has finalized a deal with the PDGA, bringing all six National Tour stops, including this weekend's event, to viewers. Additionally, four post-production crews – JomezPro, GK Pro, Gatekeeper, and Central Coast Disc Golf – will be capturing the excitement from multiple angles.
On-site, spectators are encouraged to keep their distance, adhering to Phase 1 COVID-19 guidelines that restrict caddies and in-person viewing. Those interested can tune into live broadcasts on the Disc Golf Network or follow along with UDisc Live for instant scoring updates.
The MPO Feature Card will kick off the action at 1:50 p.m. CT, featuring Mason Ford, Emerson Keith, Eagle McMahon, and Gregg Barsby. Hailey King, Maria Oliva, Stephanie Vincent, and Rebecca Cox will lead off the FPO Feature Card at 3:50 p.m. CT.
Play-by-play commentary will be provided by a talented team, including Nate Doss, Valarie Jenkins, Nate Sexton, and Terry Miller. The DGPT YouTube channel will simulcast the final round on Sunday for all to enjoy.
As part of the pre-tournament festivities, a press conference is scheduled to take place on Thursday from 2-4 p.m. CT. Some of the top contenders will share their thoughts and insights in advance of the competition.
