Putting the capstone on a season that has ranged from the dark moments of early season cancellations to the limelight of its first forrays into network television, disc golf made its long-awaited debut on ESPN2 last night and reactions have been pouring in from longtime fans and new viewers alike.
Watson Sets the Pace
Easily the most retweeted comment of the night came courtesy of two-time Masters champion and PDGA member, Bubba Watson, who chimed-in early in the broadcast:
ESPN2 will air a two-hour special presentation of the 2020 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship during its 8pm Eastern prime time slot on Tuesday, November 24, following NFL Live.
The Thanksgiving week program will feature footage from the final day of competition, which saw Kevin Jones (MPO) and Hailey King (FPO) claim dramatic victories as well as record-setting winner’s checks.
