Disc golf is returning to the Worldwide Leader in Sports this weekend.
At 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 14, the 2021 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Guaranteed Rate is set to air on ESPN2.
Both fans of the sport, as well as casual viewers, will see the exciting conclusion to the 2021 DGPT season in this two-hour event, which will be the second time that disc golf will be featured on the ESPN family of networks in 2021 and third time in the past two years.

She’s still got it.
Juliana Korver stepped away from her desk earlier this season and back onto the disc golf course this year looking to see if she could still compete at the professional level.
The results and the embracement of the community speak for themselves.

Gannon Buhr’s first PDGA win came just over six years ago.
He was 10.
Since then, Buhr has continued growing, literally, on the disc golf course, racking up wins at the amateur level, including two PDGA Junior World Championships, and over the past year, turning in a breakout year in the professional ranks.
After a stellar day on the putting green already, Queen cashed in a 90-foot throw-in to turn in the hot round of the day on Thursday during Round 1 of the DGPT Championships at Hornet’s Nest Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mason Ford never blinked.
Not when he held a one-stroke lead over the best players in the world. Not when one of those players surged to the top of the leaderboard not once, but twice. Not when the pressure of his first PDGA Elite Series win was do-or-die.
“I feel like I prepared really well for the event,” Ford said Sunday in Nashville. “I was very confident on the course. I never doubted myself. Even when I threw a bad shot, I trusted my game, trusted me putt and left it in God’s hands.”
