History was already made when the first disc was thrown on Wednesday in Finland at the 2025 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championship.
The finale just put the ultimate bow on a record-setting and history-writing World Championship.
As is has since its inception, The Beast in Nokia, complimented by The Monster in Tampere, delivered a thrilling finish that went down to the wire.
Ohn Scoggins, the five-time and reigning PDGA Masters World Champion, became the oldest FPO World Champion in history in a playoff against the Finnish phenom, Iida Lehtomäki, who introduced herself to the disc golf world in the biggest way and was aiming to become the youngest FPO World Champion in history, in a playoff.
15-year-old Iida Lehtomäki will lead the FPO final card of fellow Finns Henna Blomroos and Eveliina Salonen as well as 5-time PDGA Masters World Champion Ohn Scoggins. Blomroos is one stroke back, Scoggins four and Salonen six in the anything-can-happen track in Nokia.
Iida Lehtomäki and Ohn Scoggins enter Round 4, where action shifts back to The Beast in Nokia for the finish in Finland, tied at the top with a two-stroke lead while Ezra Aderhold clings to a one-stroke lead over Niklas Anttila and three more players within three strokes.
Buckle up, it's going to be a battle to the very end for a PDGA World Championship title.
Nearly 15 hours after it started, Round 2 of the 2025 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships delivered a thrilling day at The Monster in Tampere in Finland.
Two new leaders emerged and, just 36 holes in, it's abundantly clear that this will be a battle of survival to the finish.
Day one of the historic 2025 PDGA World Championships is in the books in Finland and what a day it was for the first PDGA World Championship to be held in Europe.
The 44th running of PDGA Pro Worlds in Finland boats the largest global field in history with 45 countries represented and the storylines heading into what promises to be a legendary week are abundant.
Will Eveliina Salonen defend her PDGA World title on her home turf? Will it be Finnish superstar Niklas Anttila becoming the first European MPO World Champion? Isaac Robinson looks for the three-peat. Gannon Buhr and Kristin Lätt, the top players in the World, look to etch their name in the history books, as does Paul McBeth and Paige Pierce.
