Champions Cup Heads Back to Georgia
Due to popular demand, the PDGA Champions Cup will be returning to W.R. Jackson and the International Disc Golf Center in Appling, GA, for its second edition, April 20-23, 2023.
Originally slated to move to the Toboggan course in Milford, MI, in July 2023, the Champions Cup will instead return to its Spring slot, two weeks after the Masters golf tournament wraps-up in nearby Augusta. DGLO will once again be run in the Summer of 2023 on the DGPT.
