A deep history and big-time performances highlight the Discraft Great Lakes Open, which returns for the 39th-consecutive year on Friday.
From its debut on the PDGA National Tour in 2003, which featured wins by Juliana Korver and Barry Schultz, to Paul McBeth’s famous 18-under par round in 2018 to Paige Pierce’s dominant win in 2019, DGLO has a track record of delivering must-watch competition.
2021 is looking to be no different.
PDGA Elite Series action resumes on Friday for the Disc Golf Pro Tour – DGLO, set for three rounds at the famed Toboggan track, which has hosted the annual event since its return to Elite Series status in 2013. Ricky Wysocki and Sarah Hokom grabbed wins that year as DGLO returned to the PDGA National Tour.

DGLO made its DGPT debut in 2018, where Hokom grabbed her second win and McBeth, aided by his 1108-rated 18-under, grabbed his first of two-straight victories in Milford.
Pierce will look for a three-peat in 2021 after a comfortable six-stroke win in 2020. Eagle McMahon was steady last year with three-straight rounds of 11-under par to pick up his first DGLO win, edging out Chris Dickerson and Wysocki by a single stroke.
Elaine King has nine wins at DGLO, which debuted in 1983. Des Reading, Catrina Allen and Korver have each hoisted the trophy four times. On the MPO side, Ken Climo won the event six-straight years from 1995-2000.
The temporary course, which opens yearly prior to the PDGA Major United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship, has a few upgrades heading into 2021, including the installation of permanent tee boxes, a boost to over 10,000 feet in course length and two new holes, including Hole 5, which has drawn rave reviews from competitors.
Along with the changes, however, Toboggan still features its signature elevation and punishing rough to set up yet another dramatic weekend in Michigan.
Here’s everything else you need to know to catch the action this weekend:
