2019 Professional Worlds - Invitation to Register Criteria

Last updated: Thursday, May 9, 2019 - 10:05

All participants in the 2019 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships must be current 2019 PDGA Professional class members and Certified Official's through the end of the event before they can register for the event.

Only the MPO and FPO divisions are offered at PDGA Pro Worlds and both invites and registration tiers are based on PDGA Player Ratings (regardless of age.)

Only Professional class members who were 2018 current by December 15th, 2018 can earn an invite.

The MPO and FPO World Champions from the previous year have an automatic invite to 2019 Pro Worlds and their spots are reserved through the first three registration tiers before being released back to open registration.

If they have turned Professional, the MA1 and FA1 World Champions from the previous year have an automatic invite to 2019 Pro Worlds and their spots are reserved through the first three registration tiers before being released back to open registration.

Player ratings for invites will be based on the player's calculated final rating that includes all 2018 events (not 2019 events.) Only players with a rated round from January 1, 2018, or later are eligible for an invite.
