PDGA Amateur Worlds

They weren't quite victory laps, but Virginia Polkinghorne and Ryan Monn had done enough work earlier in the week to make Championship Saturday at the 2024 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships presented by Discraft a relatively-stress free walk in the park.

Both walked it all the way in to the finish in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

For the first time this week, Ryan Monn is on top of the MA1 leaderboard after a clean, 9-under round at Fallasburg, but the field is right behind him.

It was a battle from the start of the 2024 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships presented by Discraft on Tuesday.

Inclement weather impacted the Grand Rapids, Michigan area but, after a few delays, the skies cleared and the 400-plus players hit the course to begin their quest for a PDGA World Championship.

It's always been called the next step.

The list of former winners are names you see every weekend on the Elite Series.

It all starts — a professional career — and ends — amateur status — here.

More than 400 players kick off the 2024 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships on Tuesday in Grand Rapids, Michigan — a loaded field representing 16 countries that will be competing for FA1 and MA1 titles.

There are storylines everywhere with Ryan Monn, the 2024 USADGC and 2024 MJ18 World Champion, chasing the 'Am Slam' of all three amateur PDGA Major titles in a year, to a record FA1 division of 114, one of the largest single-division fields in women's disc golf history.
