September 13, 2023: The Disc Golf Network is excited to return as an official live broadcast provider for the 2023 United States Disc Golf Championship (USDGC) and Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship (TPWDGC), beginning on Thursday, October 5, at the Winthrop Arena Course in Rock Hill, SC.
As was the case in 2022, Disc Golf Network subscribers can look forward to accessing complete event coverage without needing to purchase a separate pay-per-view package.
In addition to complete LIVE coverage of rounds 1-4, subscribers will also automatically gain access to exclusive post-production coverage, a Monday preview show with live action from the qualifying round, and more.
“The USDGC strives to be the most fan-friendly disc golf event in the world,” said Jonathan Poole, USDGC Co-Founder & Event Director. “This year we celebrate 25 years of bringing our community together and showcasing the game we love. Fans will enjoy live music every night, a shopping experience featuring 40+ disc golf vendors, a variety of talented artists, two spectator courses, and the world’s best disc golfers competing at one of the game’s most iconic venues. The USDGC represents nearly three decades of making our disc golf dreams come true.”
“The partnership between the Disc Golf Network and the USDGC has blossomed over three seasons, and as we embark on our fourth year of collaboration, our focus remains on delivering unparalleled experiences for DGN subscribers and fans of the Championship,” said Jeff Spring, DGPT & Disc Golf Network CEO. “Our commitment to the USDGC broadcast extends beyond just covering the lead cards; we’re again set to deliver comprehensive live coverage, enriched with pre-game and post-game insights from Tournament Central, and an exclusive feature hole broadcast. Furthermore, we’re honored to concurrently showcase the prowess of the best FPO players at the Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship, all taking place in the iconic Winthrop arena.”
The Disc Golf Network is also excited to bring JomezPro onboard to create post-produced coverage of both the USDGC & TPWDGC. Like the European Open earlier this year, post-production coverage will only be available on the Disc Golf Network during the event with a wider release on JomezPro’s YouTube channel starting on Thursday, October 19 and later on US Disc Golf’s YouTube channel.
Finally, DGN is happy to announce that GK Pro’s OTB Tour Skins will be back for the USDGC! This year, fans can look forward to not one but two skins matches!
A standard 18 hole skins match will take place at the Winthrop Arena on Sunday, October 1. Access is included USDGC VIP/Gold/Pink/Silver pass holders. Otherwise, tickets will be available on the DGPT eventbrite page. The video of this Sunday Skins Match and will be released for free on GK Pro’s YouTube Channel on Tuesday, October 3.
On Friday, October 6, a separate 9 hole skins match will take place after the conclusion of competition.
