OVERVIEW
The Disc Golf Pro Tour hosted the first-ever DGPT Elite Series tournament with a doubles format at the 2026 DGPT Doubles Championship at the Preserve. The event kept the originally announced dates and location but introduced a new format and name for the historic debut.
Veteran players Simon Lizotte and Cale Leiviska, both of whom are closely tied to the Preserve and longtime advocates of the doubles competition format, were key voices in bringing this vision to life.
“I’ve been hoping and waiting for a top-level doubles event for a long time,” said Simon Lizotte. “I love doubles, and it’s been a big part of my disc golf experience. Coming up in Germany, there was always a doubles event the day before every tournament, and the format truly brings out the most fun and exciting disc golf I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to be a part of the event next year, and to work with Cale and the DGPT team to get the Preserve ready to host some top-level doubles.”
