Unlock Exclusive Benefits with Your 2022 PDGA Membership

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is committed to continually improving its membership benefits for the disc golf community. Each year, the organization reviews member feedback, new technologies, and partnerships to enhance the value of PDGA membership.

In recent years, PDGA membership dues have remained the same, but the benefits have grown significantly in several key areas. One area where members have expressed a strong desire is access to more media coverage of professional events.

To meet this demand, PDGA members will now have increasing access to disc golf media and content through investments in existing and future partnerships. For example, active PDGA members can enjoy free coverage of select pro tour events on the Disc Golf Network, which includes:

* FREE access to select pro tour events

* A 50% discount on a Disc Golf Network subscription, valued at $60 per year

* Quarterly issues of DiscGolfer Magazine for US and Canadian members

In addition to these media benefits, PDGA has also been working on creating new content on its social media and YouTube channels. Members can expect more engaging and informative content in the coming months.

The PDGA has also partnered with UDisc, a valued partner over the past three years, to provide their product as a benefit for members. While UDisc Pro will no longer be included as a member benefit in 2022, all current members as of September 30 will retain access until December 31, 2021.

Another highly valued benefit among PDGA members is receiving discounted entry fees to sanctioned events. On average, members compete in four to five events per year, resulting in a $40-50 annual value. Additionally, active PDGA members have access to player ratings and statistics as well as other resources and tools that enhance the competition experience.

The Event Support Team works tirelessly to support tournament directors and organizers, ensuring that over 6,200 events run smoothly each year. This is a significant initiative for 2022 and beyond.

International membership benefits have also been streamlined, with a membership price of just $20 for amateur/junior and $30 for professional players outside of the US/Canada.

PDGA membership funds new technology development and support, giving members access to various tools and platforms. These include:

* Increased access to disc golf content

* PDGA.com - a source for disc golf news, information, and member services

* FREE player and event management tools like Tournament Manager and the PDGA Digital Scorecard

* A digital rulebook and other tools/information sources

The PDGA continues to grow and support the sport through various initiatives, including:

* Marketing and support of PDGA Majors - the pinnacle of disc golf competition

* Competition endowment program - promoting charity events and growth

* Youth and education outreach - creating opportunities for junior disc golfers

* Marco Polo Grant Program - supporting the introduction and development of disc golf in new countries

* International Disc Golf Center - upkeep of disc golf's permanent home
