The schedule for the 2021 PDGA A-Tiers is now available, along with the 2021 PDGA Tour Standards that will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2021.
PDGA state and provincial coordinators may now start accepting requests for approval of dates for 2021 B-Tier and C-Tier events.
The 2021 PDGA Event Sanctioning Form is now enabled, so tournament directors for pre-approved 2021 A-Tiers and State/Provincial Coordinator-approved 2021 B & C-Tiers may now submit their sanctioning.
Reminders:
- Tournament directors (TDs) need to be current 2021 PDGA members and must be a PDGA-certified rules official through their event date(s) to sanction an event.
- All A-Tiers are required to be fully sanctioned by Dec. 1, 2020.
The PDGA Tour schedule for 2021 currently consists of 10 PDGA Majors, six PDGA National Tour events, 12 Disc Golf Pro Tour events, six Euro Tour events, and 137 other A-Tiers, including nine in Canada. There is one international Major event, the European Open in Nokia, Finland, which takes place July 14-18.
The PDGA National Tour will start at the end of March with the Texas State Disc Golf Championships in Tyler, Texas, and conclude with the Music City Open in Nashville, Tennessee, in late September. The Disc Golf Pro Tour will start at the Las Vegas Challenge and conclude with the DGPT Tour Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, a week after the United States Disc Golf Championship.
The table below displays all of the scheduled PDGA Majors, National Tour, DGPT, and A-Tier events for 2021. You can also download this schedule in its entirety.
