Description

The PDGA awards prizes to the top three finishers in each division at the WGE, and also to one or more players or TDs through random draw or other contest.  In the past, these prizes have been high-value, sought-after disc golf accessories like disc golf carts and disc golf bags. To get competitive pricing and provide an equal opportunity for all vendors in the flying disc industry to introduce their products to PDGA members and disc golfers, the PDGA is seeking bids for prizes for the 2024 WGE.

The PDGA may choose one or multiple vendors for the production of these items at the sole discretion of the PDGA.
