The heat came back for round four of the 2025 PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships, and not just in temperature. Five of the ten hot rounds on Friday moved competitors into the lead or tied for the lead. Many leaderboards are very tight.
It rained overnight, the storms passed us by and the course cooled off by about 15 degrees F. Three rounds down and 153 first-time 2025 PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships competitors are now halfway through their first Junior Worlds.
It was another 95°F high on Wednesday. The pace kicked up in Round 2 at the 2025 PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships and most of the leaderboards shuffled dramatically through the day.
Kids from all over the world teed off on Tuesday at the 2025 PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships, and the action was just as hot as the temperature and excitement on the courses in Emporia, Kansas.
Gatekeeper Media's feature card for the MJ18 division didn't yield a single competitor to the lead card for round two.
MJ18 and FJ18 hit all time high field sizes at Junior Worlds in 2024, but in 2025 they surpass those record numbers with 144 competitors in MJ18 and 20 competitors in FJ18.
