The Jonesboro Open started as a PDGA B-Tier in 2017 and moved up to an Elite Series event in 2018. Now in its seventh year, the 2023 Jonesboro Open will be the fifth Elite Series event of the season.
The Music City Open was first held in 2010 and was on the PDGA National Tour in 2021. In 2022, the MCO was a Silver Series event and now returns as the fourth Elite Series event of the 2023 season.
While the Open at Austin provided a unique challenge for the MPO and FPO fields as they competed on a brand new course, players returning to Mill Ridge Park for the 2023 MCO will be familiar with many of its holes.
The second stop of the 2023 season promises better weather and the return of a couple of familiar faces. While the Las Vegas Challenge forced players to contend with cold temperatures and ripping winds, calmer conditions in Waco will give players the opportunity to focus on shaping their shots through the woods and showcasing their distance in the open along the Brazos River in central Texas.
