As one of disc golf's most prestigious events, the United States Disc Golf Championship has been a must-see tournament for 20 years. Now, as Winthrop University hosts this PDGA Major's 21st birthday bash, there are plenty of options for fans who want to join the party.

Here's everything you need to know to help celebrate from Wednesday through Saturday in South Carolina.

In-Person Spectating

The USDGC has long been a hot ticket, with event organizers offering a bevy of choices that include single-day tickets and VIP experiences. If you're coming to Rock Hill to see it all in person, make sure to check out all of the information here. A new spectator village awaits on what used to be hole 2.

Lead card rounds 2-4

This event has always pushed the envelope in terms of its media offerings, and 2019 is no different: The USDGC's live broadcast will again be produced in concert with Fulcrum Media, and this year the coverage comes with a $9.99 paywall (that can come down to $7.99 if you use code PDGA19 at checkout before October 1). Four cameras will follow the lead card beginning Thursday, and Event Director Jonathan Poole said one of those will have the ability to peel off to the chase card if needed. Jamie Thomas, Hannah McBeth, and 12-time PDGA World Champion Ken Climo will anchor the daily broadcast.
