L.L.Bean is the presenting sponsor for 2023, adding another major company to the disc golf landscape. With L.L.Bean's support, the projected purse is set to be no less than $275,000 — the largest ever at a PDGA Professional World Championship.

Fans can experience the action in a number of ways, both in-person in Vermont as spectator tickets are still available as well as live on the Disc Golf Network. Active PDGA members receive a 50% discount on their DGN subscription to catch all five rounds of the action at Brewster Ridge and Fox Run Meadows. The final two rounds are also available for free to active PDGA members.

It's been a whirlwind season on the Elite Series with intense action and a number of different winners week-in and week-out. It all culminates in Vermont.

Get ready, Worlds is up next.
