2023 PDGA Masters World Championships • George Bodiroga (MA60) • Michael Schweitzer (MA70)
George Bodiroga and Michael Schweitzer take home top honors at the 2023 PDGA Masters World Championships. The two champions share their experiences from the tournament, discussing the challenges they faced and how they overcame them to claim their titles. For George, winning the championship was a culmination of hard work and supportive friends, including Mike and David from Arkansas, who provided valuable encouragement throughout the competition. Michael Schweitzer credits his training in Charlotte, North Carolina, for preparing him for the tournament's demands. His "bag of tricks" proved to be a deciding factor in securing his victory at Flagstaff's beautiful surroundings - a far cry from Florida's climate - seemed to invigorate Michael as he rose to the challenge and emerged victorious.
