Ultiworld Disc Golf Publisher Charlie Eisenhood joined Steven Dodge on the Disc Golf Pro Tour ‘Pro Tour Talk’ podcast to discuss the similarities and differences between ultimate and disc golf media.

The PDGA announced today that starting in 2021, both the Professional and Amateur Masters World Championship will be combined into one Masters World Championship event for all divisions.

The 2019 and 2020 Am Worlds and Pro Masters Worlds events will not be affected by the change.
