2017 PDGA Pro Disc Golf Worlds Courses
For the first time since the inaugural event in 1982, the Open and Open Women's divisions are now the only two divisions that will compete in the PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships. Due to a number of various factors, all other professional divisions now have their own world championship event, the PDGA Professional Masters Disc Golf World Championships.
The overwhelming growth and popularity of disc golf has been the driving force behind this decision, and having the two elite divisions compete in their own separate event means fewer courses are needed. This factor alone means far more venues are able to bid on hosting the event, and for the competitors, it means fewer courses need to be practiced.
