The Disc Golf Pro Tour announced today that its upcoming Tour Championship will pay out a record-breaking $250,000 to competitors, including $30,000 prizes to the winners in both MPO and FPO.
The $250K purse easily eclipses the current record — $173,000 — that was set earlier this year at the PDGA Pro World Championships in Utah. The $30,000 prizes will also be the biggest individual payouts in disc golf history.
The DGPT Championship also set the record for biggest purse in 2020 with its $130,000 in prize money and biggest individual prizes at $20,000.
