Amateur merchandise payouts for Divisional Doubles will be available for redemption at the Dynamic Discs Pro Shop at 912 Commercial St. during normal business hours starting on Tuesday, June 11
But that number has been cut and Championship Saturday has arrived with a few things locked up and quite a few things left to be settled with the semifinals and finals left to go.
Nearly 900 players got a chance at redemption on Thursday throughout Emporia.
Round 3 of the 2024 PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships had players return to the course where they kicked off the week looking to improve or back up their first-round showing.
It's wasn't officially moving day — that happens Friday before the cut to Saturday morning's semifinal rounds — but there were plenty of moves throughout the leaderboards.
Looking for the four-peat in MP60, Tim Keith jumped to a one-stroke lead. That's the same margin for new MP65 leader Bill Rohe as well as Sweden's Jonas Pärtma in MA50.
With two of the four rounds before Saturday's cut to the semifinals in the books, the battles tightened in the professional divisions and new names emerged across the top of the leaderboard in 10 of the 12 amateur divisions.
More than 850 players across 24 divisions representing 18 countries kicked off the 2024 PDGA Professional & Amateur Masters Disc Golf World Championships on Tuesday.
After extreme weather atnd flooding dampened the pre-event days, the skies cleared on Tuesday and, if the Round 1 action was any indication, it's going to be a battle to the finish in Emporia, Kansas.
In round one, we will play a modified best shot. In modified best throw, teams choose the best throw on each shot; however, the same person’s tee shot cannot be used three holes in a row.
Round Two:
In round two, we will play a modified alternate throw. On odd-numbered holes, Player One will tee. On even- numbered holes, Player Two will tee. (Teams will decide who will be Player One and Player Two) After the tee shot, the other partner throws the second shot, and players alternate throughout the hole until it is completed.
There will be nine stations, each with a basket in which three putts of varying length and difficulty will be presented. The spots at each station will have putts worth 1, 2, and 3 points.
On behalf of Dynamic Discs and Emporia, we are excited to host the PDGA Masters World Championships for the first time! Dynamic Discs has worked hard to plan the event with the PDGA and the Emporia community to make it successful.
Masters Worlds week starts with Masters Doubles, Field Events, and the Opening Ceremony. On Tuesday, it's time for disc golf! We are using seven courses in the Greater Emporia Area, allowing for seven pools. Each pool is playing two of those courses.
All of the invite lists for the world championships are now available on their respective pages (see below, and refer back to these pages for important information).
PDGA Major Events are the premier national and international competitions for disc golf each year, featuring the world’s best disc golfers competing for World and National Titles in multiple skill, age, and gender-based divisions. These PDGA marquee events offer any city or town the chance to host an international sporting event in their community, to draw interest and attention to the location, and to generate a significant economic impact for local businesses.
Hosting a PDGA Major is a challenging task. Interest was shown from several involved local organizing committees (LOC), meaning selecting these events was difficult, as so many excellent bid packages were submitted.
