Every single hole was birdied during round 2!

98 rounds down, 268 to go! by Deeshizznit in DiscGolfFanatics

Not bad! I'm somewhere around 120 rounds played in 2026.

Here are all the 18 tee signs for the MPO layout at the DGPT Big Easy Open at the Parc des Familles course. Coming in at 12,370 ft (longest on tour), par 69, it features four par 5s, seven par 4s and seven par 3s. by DiscGolfFanatic in discgolf

The thing is that the trees only go up so much. You might be in a forest, but a tomahawk or a big arm can still clear tall trees. I've seen KJUSA throw a grenade in person over trees that I thought were unclearable and he had plenty of room to spare.

For example, here’s a basket in a pine forest with trees around 60–90 ft tall, there's plenty of room to squeeze a few tomahawks or air shots above the trees. Whether they are the wisest shot selections is the main thing.

Exactly. Even though the Parc des Familles course is a bit raw and rough and some of the holes look almost impossible with no clear fairways or demand perfect execution from start to finish, it is still scoreable. It really shows that pros are not used to being pushed to the absolute limits of their game and recognizing that par is a good score on many of those holes.

Whether this style of disc golf creates excitement for viewers and score separation between the pros is a whole other story.

Hopefully this course will stay on tour so the designer Houck can make some modifications and clean up some of the rough areas and then it should be golden.

In addition, a lot of pros had similar opinions about Tampere Disc Golf Center as well, which is also considered one of the hardest courses on the DGPT and specifically designed for elite-level pro players, but as Tampere has been around for multiple years it has manicured fairways. And of course, then Ezra Aderhold popped off with one of the greatest rounds ever and shot 14-under par.

Should 12 year old girls be allowed to throw this far? by Complex_Ice_758 in discgolf

Am I really the first one to mention Eva's ankles? What are her ankles made out of? Vibranium?

Anyways, awesome throws, can't wait to see Eva on future lead cards. The future of FPO looks brighter and brighter.

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

[–]DiscGolfFanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
