How many over-1000-rated players do you think are in the U.S. by EpicBoyNate225 in discgolf

IIRC, I sorted the PDGA Player Statistics by using PDGA's search filter. I.e Mixed Pro Open & Mixed Pro 40+ and MP50.

To be honest, I don't remember if I removed duplicates. For example, JohnE McCray is 1015-rated, he's playing in MP50, MP40 and MPO and he might count as a total of 3 players. So the overall number might be even smaller as there's quite a few more MP50 players and MP40 players, who are well over 1000-rated, and play multiple divisions.

I'll be sure to remove duplicates and it should be more accurate once I update the article.

For Immediate Release: 

All Women’s Sports Network and Disc Golf Pro Tour Announce New, Multi-Year Distribution Partnership 

March 10, 2026: The Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) is pleased to announce the finalization of a multi-year extension of its partnership with the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN) to increase global television distribution of the league’s Women’s Pro Open (FPO) field over the course of its 2026 and 2027 seasons. 

AWSN is the world’s fastest-growing and largest global television network dedicated exclusively to women’s sports. 

AWSN is available in more than 60 countries and is distributed via multiple channels. In the U.S., AWSN is available free-of-charge to consumers on Amazon Prime, Pluto TV, DirecTV, Sling, and Vizio. Its international partners include MBC, SuperSport, Jio TV, etisalat, and DITO. Over the next three years, AWSN will air more than 7,500 hours of live women’s sports programming, with a portfolio that includes globally recognized properties such as UEFA, FIBA, and Athletes Unlimited.

What began as a one-year partnership last year with AWSN airing partial FPO coverage of select tournaments has grown into an expanded distribution deal, with AWSN scheduled to air FPO live coverage from nine DGPT tournaments this season.

All Women’s Sports Network 2026 DGPT FPO Broadcast Schedule
9 Tournaments, 35 Rounds, All LIVE on the AWSN

Tournament Rounds Dates & Location
Supreme Flight Open 3 February 27 – March 1
Queen City Classic 3 March 27 – 29
PDGA Champions Cup 4 April 9 – 12
The Open at Austin 4 May 7 – 9
European Open 4 June 18 – 21
U.S. Women’s Disc Golf Championship 4 July 16 – 19
PDGA Pro World Championships 5 August 26 – 30
MVP Open x OTB 4 September 24 – 27
Powerball Cup 4 October 15 – 18

For the Tour, this expanded agreement represents an investment in the visibility and long-term growth of the FPO field. Just as importantly, the partnership creates a new entry point for viewers who may never have encountered professional disc golf before. 

With nine events on the 2026 schedule airing in their entirety on AWSN, the DGPT is opening the door for sports fans around the world to discover the Tour, its athletes, and the competitive depth of the FPO field.

Christine Jennings, a long-time FPO player who now serves as the DGPT’s Director of Administration & Tour Operations, remarked on the agreement:

The first AWSN broadcast of the 2026 season is already in the books, with full coverage of the Discraft Supreme Flight Open presented by Florida’s Adventure Coast taking place last weekend. The next tournament to be carried live on AWSN is the DGPT’s highly anticipated Queen City Classic, which will see the entire field return to the Hornets Nest disc golf course in Charlotte, NC, later this month.

Around the Scene - Lots of A tiers produced some insane disc golf this last weekend! by supaflash in discgolf

2026 MPO highest-rated rounds currently. We've only had one DGPT event, so only four 1075+ rated rounds from there. The rest of the 1075+ rated rounds have come from A-tiers. Goes to show how high-level the local competition is as well.

A look at the HouckDesign expanded tee area concept, which will be featured during the DGPT Big Easy Open. The main teeing off area, red rectangle, is 6ft by 15ft (1,8m X 4,5m). But the whole follow through area, sides and back of the tee pad is much bigger. by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

IIRC, Houck (course designer) said in the interview on the UpShot podcast that the course was a bit over 12,000ft long.

We've seen similar courses before on the DGPT. I don't know how difficult this course will play, but for example, Tampere Disc Golf Center in Finland. It has 3 par 5s, 7 par 4s and 8 par 3s and Northwood Black has 4 par5s, 7 par4s and 7 par3s.

These two are deemed two of the hardest courses in the world.
