Diving into the Competition
This championship marks the first event ever hosted in Lynchburg, but don’t let that fool you; New London Tech has undergone some exciting renovations, ensuring a challenging experience for even the top-tier players. An interesting note is that a significant number of the competitors—nine out of twenty—didn’t compete in the 2024 Tour Championship. This reflects the growing depth and talent in the FPO field.
The Defending Champion and Heavy Hitters
Among the competitors, Gannon Buhr, the defending Tour Champion, is having a standout season with six Major and Elite Series victories under his belt—and he’s hungry to repeat that success in Lynchburg. Other strong contenders include Richard Wysocki, Anthony Barela, and Calvin Heimburg, all showcasing tracks of remarkable achievements and aspirations for the tournament.
More Than Just a Championship
And let’s not forget the amateurs! The event also includes the Amateur Challenge, where up-and-coming local players will have their shot at glory on the same revered courses as the pros. Spectators are in for a treat, with plenty of activities, including a dedicated spectator course and the exciting Vessi Ace Competition.
The Future Looks Bright!
This championship is just the beginning of something great for disc golf tourism in the area. The PDGA Champions Cup will be returning to New London Tech in April 2026, further solidifying the region as a hotspot for thrilling disc golf action.
