Luis Rodríguez has extensive experience in the field of flying disc sports, developing competitive structures and community building platforms.
As disc golf continues its rapid growth around the world, Rodríguez has been hired as the PDGA Latin America Coordinator under PDGA International Director Brian Hoeniger to expand the presence of disc golf in Latin America countries and to promote the growth of PDGA activities in the region.
