Every year, direct feedback from members helps us determine exactly what membership benefits are most important. Additionally, new tools and technology become available, which benefit the game. And, new potential partners approach the PDGA with products and services that can enhance the membership experience. Thus, every year the PDGA responds by reviewing member benefits in order to improve the quantity, value and impact of the benefits exclusively offered to PDGA members.

Since 2007, PDGA membership dues have not increased, but the benefits of PDGA membership continue to grow in several key areas:

Disc golf has continually been on the rise and the numbers have shown that ascent year after year. 2020, despite all of the challenges of a global pandemic, simply blew those growth numbers out of the water.

Recently, the Professional Disc Golf Association released its 2020 year-end demographics and the figures from top to bottom in every area are staggering. The year ended with a 33% growth to an all-time high 71,016 active members spread across 63 countries and six continents, including 11,000 beyond North America. In comparison, there was a 15% growth in active members from 2018 to 2019.

2019 marked another big year of growth in disc golf, and the Professional Disc Golf Association is out with some impressive new numbers to prove it. 

Following recent trends, active PDGA memberships continued to grow at a 15% clip, bringing the total number of active members above 50,000 for the first time. Other measures took even greater leaps, such as the number of PDGA-affiliated clubs, which saw a 35% bump.
