Jeff Spring is the CEO and Tour Director of the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT). As a Vermont native and long-time outdoor recreation enthusiast, Jeff’s passion for disc golf took root during his 10-year tenure at Smugglers’ Notch Resort (Jeffersonville, VT) where he served as the as Director of the Ski & Snowboard School in the Winter and founder and director of the Resort’s Mountain Biking and Disc Golf Facilities and Programs in the Summer.

While at Smugglers’ Notch (Smuggs), Jeff led the effort to develop the resort into one of the sport’s top venues. Now, Smuggs is widely recognized as one of the world’s premier disc golf destinations, with two of the top-ten-rated courses in the World located on the mountainside property. Jeff has served as the Event Director for multiple Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) Pro Majors, including two World Championships hosted at Smugglers’ Notch since 2018. He continues to serve as the Event Director for several top-tier DGPT events each year.

Jeff’s involvement with the DGPT started at inception as he helped strategize with the founder of the Tour, Steve Dodge, for its launch in 2015. He then went on to serve as the Tournament Director of the Green Mountain Championship and the inaugural DGPT Championship in 2016. In 2017, Jeff began advising the DGPT and served as a liaison to the PDGA. After the DGPT was purchased by majority owner Todd Rainwater in 2019, Jeff was appointed to his current role and has led the Tour through a rapid period of expansion across the United States and into Europe.

Under Jeff’s leadership, the DGPT has become the Official Pro Tour of the PDGA and continues to raise the bar for professional disc golf events. Alongside an expanded tour schedule and staff roster, Jeff has overseen the development of the Tour’s dedicated live-streaming subscription service - Disc Golf Network (DGN) - which provides live broadcasts of DGPT and PDGA Pro Major events, as well as an expansion of media distribution to networks like ESPN and CBS Sports.

Now, Jeff leads the Tour’s executive team and long-term planning efforts. If he’s not in the office or on the course, you can probably find him in a Vermont forest skiing, hiking, or on his mountain bike.

Before joining the Pro Tour, Dominic spent nearly two decades managing investment portfolios and driving business development at firms like Brown Advisory and JPMorgan Chase. He's also no stranger to competitive sports — a multi-time powerboat racing national champion and former collegiate rugby captain, Dominic thrives in high-energy environments where strategy and teamwork matter most.
Off the course, Dominic has a strong passion for growing communities, having led successful multimillion-dollar capital campaigns and served on several nonprofit boards. A lifelong outdoorsman, he’s just as comfortable throwing a forehand as he is fishing, hunting, or snowboarding.

Sean has worked for the Pro Tour since its inception in 2016. It was a dream come true when he was hired full-time in 2020. As of January 2024, the Tour has worked with partners like Bushnell, The Halal Guys, Barbasol, and, most recently, L.L.Bean. We could only have built the Tour into a global brand with the support of organizations inside and outside the sport.

Sean discovered disc golf while trail running at Borderland State Park in 2008, and the addiction took over immediately. After moving to the Bay Area and running several events for the San Francisco Disc Golf Club, he was thrilled to host the first DGPT event in CA. Known as the SFO, the event has since migrated to become the OTB Open in Stockon, CA. He loves playing Golden Gate Park DGC with his friends when he has free time.

I have traveled extensively and been a part of the Touring disc golf community for the past 5 years. I've always valued community and volunteering.

At the DGPT, Ty focuses on developing a brand that gives back to the disc golf community that has given him so much.

Jeffrey Tocci joined the Tour in 2022 as an associate director for live broadcasts, helping to define standard operating procedures for DGN’s cloud-based control room with a focus on audio and the development of digital assets. During the following 2023 season, Tocci stepped into a hybrid role where he acted as AD/A1 for all DGPT Elite/Elite+/PDGA Major events and Producer for all DGPT Silver events. After an off-season focused on migrating the Disc Golf Network’s OTT platform to a custom solution, his role has evolved to focus on the DGN user experience, bringing new and emerging technologies to the broadcast.

Disc is engrained in Tocci’s DNA. At the age of 3, he learned to throw a frisbee for the first time and hasn’t really stopped since, and he is still playing ultimate to this day. At the age of 15, he started playing disc golf at Borderland State Park in Easton, MA. In 2012, he combined his passion for media and disc golf by volunteering at the Nantucket Disc Golf Course, and in 2019, he developed an interactive virtual map of the course.

He is honored and humbled to be a part of the DGPT team and looks forward to the incredibly bright future of the sport!

I am the Operations Director for the Disc Golf Network. My primary role is ensuring everything is in place at event sites for a successful live broadcast.

In my free time you can catch me at one of the many fantastic disc golf courses in Austin TX or on a patio playing backgammon.

She put a bag together in 2020 and has been enjoying learning the form of throwing and shopping for discs. Kelly throws exclusively purple discs, with the exception of the one disc she dyed herself.
