Last updated: Tuesday, January 23, 2024 - 16:24

  1. All members in good standing of the PDGA are eligible to compete in any division for which they qualify based upon class (Professional or Amateur), age, gender, and player rating. Exceptions must be approved in advance by the PDGA Director of Event Support. Please see Section 2: Division Qualifications for more specific information on division eligibility.
  2. Membership Requirements:
    1. Current PDGA Membership is required to compete in any Major, Elite Series, A-Tier, or B-Tier event. See the International Program Guide for exceptions.
    2. In all other PDGA-sanctioned events, players who are not current members may compete by paying a non-member temporary membership fee (not required for Leagues, see 1.14.C.1). See the International Program Guide for exceptions.
    3. In PDGA-sanctioned events which permit non-members or non-current members to compete by paying a non-member temporary membership fee, such a fee will not apply to players competing in Junior divisions or where the requirement has been waived by the PDGA Director of Event Support (e.g., WGE or Competition Endowment Program events).
