What has disc golf lacked for the past decade?," this is the question the American Disc Golf Tour founders asked themselves in early 2014. The answer to that question was quite simple……a group of like minded individuals with progressive thoughts, corporate sponsors, and the DRIVE to bring professional disc golf events to millions of live viewers.
Fast forward 18 months later and the foundation for the American Disc Golf Tour is born. A foundation built on the support of ESPN including exclusive rights with ESPN Networks to broadcast the first live professional disc golf event in May 2016 and into the foreseeable future. The ADGT is not only a tour for the professionals; it also features a branch for the true amateur player. The amateur branch will include a handicap system along with other features making player skill level easier to track between all regions.
Foundation is a word that you will see mentioned over and over as the American Disc Golf Tour expands. We are disc athletes and as professional/amateur athletes we require a solid footing to progress. We will depend on all disc athletes to help support and build the ADGT and in return ADGT will continue its support by providing the structure needed to bring disc golf mainstream with ESPN Networks.
