Since its emergence on the professional scene in 2017, Kentucky's Idlewild Open has served as the de facto entrance into the season's wooded stretch – and it marks that entrance with a vengeance.
Idlewild is widely viewed as one of the most difficult courses on the annual Disc Golf Pro Tour circuit, featuring labyrinthine tunnels, winding creeks, and signature artificial turf greens. The other signature at the course? Victories, especially for James Conrad, who ousted Paul McBeth at the event's DGPT debut three years ago, and Kevin Jones, who rebounded from a late-round collapse in 2018 to take home a classic finish in 2019.
So, who's turn is it to etch their name in DGPT lore this year? We'll find out with a full slate of coverage from the Disc Golf Network, several post-production crews, and more. Here's what you need to know to take it all in from Friday through Sunday:
