What's Happening?
The Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) has announced the introduction of the JomezPro Series for the 2026 season, offering exclusive post-produced coverage for select tournaments. This new event classification aims to provide additional spectating opportunities and will feature PDGA A-Tier sanctioning. The preliminary schedule includes events such as the Waco Annual Charity Open, Cascade Challenge, and Champions Landing Open. The series will not be covered live on the Disc Golf Network but will be available on the JomezPro YouTube channel.
Why It's Important?
The JomezPro Series represents a strategic expansion of the DGPT, enhancing visibility and accessibility for disc golf fans. By offering post-produced coverage, the series allows for broader audience engagement, particularly in locations where live broadcasts are impractical. This initiative supports the growth of disc golf by showcasing top players and venues, potentially attracting new fans and sponsors, and fostering the sport's development.
What's Next?
The DGPT plans to expand the JomezPro Series, targeting four to six events next season. Tournament organizers are invited to submit bids for inclusion, indicating potential growth and increased collaboration within the disc golf community. The series will play a role in the 2026 DGPT World Standings, with bonus points awarded to participants, further integrating it into the competitive landscape.
