Welcome to the Portland Open!

The 2019 Portland Open is the inagural edition of this Disc Golf Pro Tour event. The Open brings a world class disc golf event back to Metro Portland for the first time since the 2014 PDGA Pro World Championship. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Portland-area event, the Beaver State Fling, the Portland Open is happy to be partnering with the Stumptown Disc Golf Club and Metro Parks.

Blue Lake Disc Golf Course is an elite tournament venue that serves as an ideal showcase for disc golf's top professionals. Taking place over Memorial Day Weekend, the Portland Open is more than a disc golf tournament, but will also feature craft beer, local food trucks, sport and art vendors and festival games to enjoy.

Portland. Home of the Beaver State Fling, one of the most prestigious National Tour events for over a decade. Home of the 2014 Pro Worlds which featured the epic four hole playoff between Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki. This would serve as foreshadowing for the dominance of our sport for the next five years.

In 2019, the Pro Tour brings high stakes disc golf back to Blue Lake, a course designed by Dave Feldberg. With Pro Worlds TD Jeff Spring managing the event and Zoe Andyke and Dustin Keegan providing ground support, the Portland Open is set to thrill for years to come. See you this Memorial Day weekend!

FPO is live at 12pm and MPO is live 6:30pm Sat-Sun-Mon(Memorial Day) Doesn't specify if its DGPTv and/or YT.

Jomez will be on postpro

I would like to see this tourney but I'm holding out for one more week or so to attend the BSF. Really looking forward to that one.

Actually, it was a 5 hole sudden-death playoff and it was absolutely epic. Hands down the best, most thrilling disc golf I have ever witnessed, or seen on video.

Lol... Dodge wasn't paying attention too much for that one. I actually fixed a couple typos on it before posting...

So this is a big Discraft event. . and Paul is not playing?!

He's not playing BSF either. Playing two Atiers on the other side of the country.

If we go by the notion that having their name on it makes it a "big Discraft event", then he's missing a bunch of those over the course of the year. As with everything else, there are varying degrees of how much influence a company has with a given event (even if their name is in the title). I'm guessing Discraft's name is on the Portland event for the same reason that Bevel is on it...the Dosses are heavily involved. So it's not as though this is a flagship Discraft tournament like Memorial or Ledgestone are. Yes, it's DGPT, but it's not at the level of "all hands on deck" for the sponsored team like those other events.

Noteworthy is that by skipping the Oregon swing, McBeth is going to attend the KC Wide Open, a Discraft sponsored event where he is the headliner in terms of Discraft team members. As opposed to Portland and BSF where many other top Discraft players will be there (Uli, MJ, etc). From a sponsor perspective, there is some strategy to spreading the team around a bit from time to time.

Yay for YouTube...:clap:

From a fan perspective it's an incredible bummer McBeth will miss both our local tour events. It sort of diminishes them...

I'm shocked Nate isn't playing. I thought for sure he would play these two events.

I totaly agree, any event without Paul, Ricky or Eagle ( or Paige P and Cat ) is a big bummer

 

[ODRB]

Well, good thing that Nate, Ricky, And Eagle are all playing at Blue Lake.

Anybody else notice the name on top of the list?...

https://www.pdga.com/player/2431

Is that Jared Goff's dad?...

 

[lyleoross]

Two years ago I would have said Paul being gone was a bummer. Today, there is just too much talent for me to fuss about it. I know I'm gonna see great play by any of six or eight players. That is good enough for me.

 

[lyleoross]

There are ten players rated over 1030, that is amazing!

BTW - has anyone noticed that Seppo seems to be the go to name of Lat now? That is awesome. I'd love to see him get up over 1040.

I thought Seppo was sponsored by Prodigy?

I don't think so.... Friend of Steve Rico. He works with Legacy Discs.

Seppo will likely be a Prodigy lifer, like Will Schusterick.

Dang it, that is what I meant to write. God I'm senile. Thanks for the correction.
