Plans to bring the Disc Golf Pro Tour overseas to Europe for the PCS Sula Open, a PDGA Euro Tour event, in 2021 have been postponed due to travel restrictions amid the unpredictable COVID-19 situation currently in Europe.

It’s always been about growth and building, both professionally and in disc golf, for Kalle Vainikka.
After working in the construction industry and jumping into disc golf full steam, Vainikka will combine those passions as the new PDGA Europe Administrator, an opportunity he sees to help further push the rapid growth of disc golf in Europe.
Following a year in which the COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement or cancellation of many elite disc golf events throughout the world, 2021 promises to be a season of revival.
This will be nowhere truer than on the 2021 PDGA Euro Tour, which kicks-off April 30 with the Kokkedal Open in Denmark.
Today the Euro Tour is announcing a new partnership with Natural Born Disc Golfer Media (NBDG) to cover all rounds of the 2021 Tour with next-day shot-by-shot coverage of the MPO feature/lead card, which will be released on NBDG’s YouTube channel and free to watch for all viewers.

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.
