Excitement and anticipation levels are through the roof in the desert and that can only mean one thing: it's time for professional disc golf.

The 2021 Elite Series officially kicks off Thursday, Feb. 25 with the Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova, the first stop on the 2021 Disc Golf Pro Tour.

Over four days, the elite field will compete on the three courses at the Wild Horse Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada in the four-round event.

Making its return to the Elite Series and DGPT this season, the Las Vegas Challenge, which runs through Sunday, will feature coverage for everyone, from a daily live broadcast on the Disc Golf Network to post production coverage provided by JomezPro, Gatekeeper Media and GK Pro.

Live MPO coverage will kick off Thursday-Sunday starting at 2:40 p.m. ET and 4:32 p.m. ET for FPO. The broadcast will begin daily at 2:20 p.m. ET.

Buckle up, it's time to ride in the desert.
