2022 Pro Worlds

2022 Pro Worlds

Moments have defined the history of the Pro Worlds.

We'll all remember the one from 2021, a clip that we've see time and time again and will likely see replayed for the foreseeable future, but that one is just the latest in a 40-year history of Pro Worlds.

Now it's time to make a new one.

The best in the sport have descended on Emporia, Kansas this week for the 2022 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by Dynamic Discs.

The storylines are running deep in 2022.

The quest for No. 6 for Paige Pierce and Paul McBeth continues. Catrina Allen and James Conrad — who both had throws that defined the 2021 Worlds — are the defending champions.

The PDGA, along with the Host Team in Emporia and Disc Golf Network, have created a tee time plan that will see both the MPO and FPO divisions split into two equal pools for the upcoming 2022 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships. With the FPO field growing larger every year, this model is expected to be utilized in future iterations of Pro Worlds to accommodate the significant number of players, spectators, and media initiatives involved with the sport’s paramount event. 

Reminder: To register you must be a 2022 current PDGA member and a Certified Official with an expiration date after the Worlds concludes.

Certified Official = a PDGA member who has passed the PDGA Certified Rules Official Exam and paid the $10 certification fee to be a Certified Official for a three year period.  See your member profile page to note if you are a Certified Official, and if so, when your certification expires.
