October 8, 2021 by Bennett Wineka in News with 0 comments
Ultiworld Disc Golf’s coverage of the 2021 United States Disc Golf Championship and Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship is presented by Skybreed Discs, a top online retailer and preferred vendor of the 2021 Ledgestone Insurance Open.
This year’s USDGC is planning to award a first place cash payout matching the all-time high of $20,000 set at the 2020 DGPT Championship. The first place prize for the TPWDGC winner will be $6,000, tying it for the fifth highest FPO payout of all-time. The DGPT has already announced a $30,000 top prize for both the MPO and FPO winners of the 2021 DGPT Championship next weekend.
A second place prize of $13,000 at USDGC would also be a top five payout all-time for the MPO division, and is $1,000 more than James Conrad won at the 2019 USDGC, and $2,000 more than Chris Dickerson won last season.
This year’s USDGC payout includes more than $50,000 of added cash and the TPWDGC sees more than $14,000 added cash to the purse.
Here are the full payout tables, per the PDGA event pages for the USDGC and TPWDGC:
