USDGC aims to match current all-time highest cash payout for first place
October 8, 2021 by Bennett Wineka in News
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:
