Drive For the Championship Standings

The PDGA National Tour represents the top tier of professional disc golf events and was established in 2003 as a means of showcasing the sport of disc golf to the general public. The 2008 Tour consisted of a series of nine events held across the country starting with the Memorial in Scottsdale, Arizona in March, and ending with the Vibram Open at Maple Hill in Leicester, Massachusetts in July. Competitors in these series events earned points based upon their place of finish, with the results of their top four finishes used to qualify for the inaugural “Drive for the Championship”, presented by Woodchuck Cider.

The “Drive for the Championship” consisted of the PDGA Pro Disc Golf World Championships, the United States Disc Golf Championship (or) United States Women’s Disc Golf Championships, and The Player’s Cup. The top 30 Men and top 10 Women points leaders from the NT series are qualified and the series points from their four event qualifying total is carried forward and added to the three “Drive” events to determine NT cash bonuses and the title of PDGA Tour Champions for 2008.

The top ten men and top five women were presented with bonus checks totaling $8,000, with the top five men and top three women also taking home National Tour trophies. The PDGA would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to Woodchuck Cider for sponsoring the 2008 National Tour Points Series and the Drive for the Championships.
