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.
Despite the unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic, disc golf has thrived as a safe, socially distanced outdoor activity, and this in turn has attracted a stunning influx of new players to the sport.
