Welcome to Austin: A New Season of Disc Golf Excitement Unfolds

This year, the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) is kicking off its 10th season in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. The highly anticipated MVP’s 2025 Open is set to light up the courses from March 20 to March 23, promising thrilling competition as players and fans alike are ready to dive into the action.

A Fresh Challenge with DGPT+

For the first time, the event introduces the DGPT+ format, bringing a fresh set of challenges for the competitors. The action will take place over two stunning courses: Sprinkle Valley DGC will host Rounds 1-2, while Harvey Penick will be the stage for Rounds 3-4. Sprinkle Valley recently made headlines as the host of the 2024 US Women’s Disc Golf Championship, and its reputation for providing an exhilarating test for players makes it an exciting start to the event.

Weather Report: Perfect for a Good Game

Weather conditions are looking promising for the Open at Austin! With expected highs in the mid to upper 80s and mostly calm winds, players should enjoy ideal conditions for their best performances. The lighter winds compared to previous events will surely be welcomed by those competing, allowing for precise shots and strategic plays. However, as the event nears its conclusion on Sunday, fans and players should stay alert for potential passing showers or thunderstorms brought on by a cold front.

Reigning Champion Ready to Defend Her Title

The spotlight is on Ohn Scoggins, the reigning champion, who made waves in 2024 with record-breaking performances. As she prepares to defend her title, the anticipation is palpable. Competing against her is none other than Kristin Lätt, who is determined to turn her runner-up finish from last year into a win. After a recent victory at WACO, Lätt’s confidence is soaring.

Adam Hammes is also in the mix, looking to secure back-to-back wins after his triumph at WACO put him at the top of the DGPT standings. He’s not alone in his quest; Ricky Wysocki, affectionately known as the “Texas King,” is vying to regain form with multiple wins in Texas under his belt. His journey this season has been a bit rocky, but fans are hoping he finds his rhythm in Austin.

Top Contenders and Strong Performers

The competition doesn’t end there! Both Anthony Barela and Paul McBeth are sitting comfortably in the top five of the standings, each looking for a breakthrough victory in Austin despite not having won here yet. The competitive spirit is high, and there’s no shortage of talent in the lineup.
