Welcome to the DGPT Registration Information Hub! Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about participating in Disc Golf Pro Tour events. 

You can find baseline player requirements for participation in DGPT events below. After reviewing these requirements, use the tabs at the top of the page to learn more about each topic. If you have any questions, we’re more than happy to assist you! Shoot us an email at operations@dgpt.com, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

PLAYER REQUIREMENTS

All competitors wishing to compete at a DGPT Event (PDGA Elite Series) must comply with the following requirements.

1. Sign a Player Agreement with the Tour: This will cover insurance, liability waiver, arbitration, discipline, conduct and tour standards, media, etc.). Players who are registering via a Tour Card may need to complete additional paperwork based on their status as a Tour Card holder. Questions? Reach out to operations@dgpt.com. 
2. Meet all DGPT Eligibility Requirements: This includes PDGA player rating floors of 950 for MPO and 850 for FPO. 
3. Pay All Registration Fees: Registration fees will start at $300 for MPO and $300 for FPO. Some events, such as the playoffs, will have higher registration fees. 
4. Pay DGPT Fees: Tour Card Holders will pay a mandatory fee to gain access to all season-long program amenities and benefits. To ensure a consistent player experience on-site, competitors without a Tour Card will pay an additional $50 fee per tournament to access all on-site amenities that come with the Tour Card program and standard player experience.

Register for the DGPT payout system: Players will be sent a link to get set up with the DGPT payout system (contractor payments). This will set players up for direct deposit to ensure ease of payment for tournament winnings and record keeping for tax purposes.

Entry into DGPT events via ratings-based registration is only for the DGPT regular season. Ratings-based registration may allow entry to the first DGPT Playoff event (Green Mountain Championship). Rating-based registration is not available for the MVP Open or the DGPT Championship, which players must qualify for via the DGPT World Standings.

After completing Tour Card holder registration, the Disc Golf Pro Tour will begin opening tiered ratings-based registration for the season. Events are grouped into three waves based on when ratings-based registration begins. For more information on registration for DGPT events via the Tour Card, reference the Tour Pass Registration tab above. 

Once ratings-based registration is open, competitors will be allowed to register for individual tournaments in line with each ratings-based tier. 

REGISTRATION TIERS BY PDGA PLAYER RATING

WAITLISTS

The number of spots available at each event for ratings-based entry will fluctuate based on overall field size and Tour Card pre-registration numbers, which will differ at each event.  The DGPT will maintain a waitlist for each event based on ratings-based registration and promote players on a first-come, first-serve basis. Depending on pre-registration numbers (Tour Card holder registration) for each event, the first tier of registration (1010/930+) may open directly to the waitlist.

Links to each registration page will be added to the table below as they become available. Please contact DGPT Operations at operations@dgpt.com with any questions.

The Disc Golf Pro Tour will open ratings-based registration in three waves. For qualification only tournaments (MVP Open & DGPT Championship), players will receive invitations to register later in the season after they have qualified.

Links to individual disc golf scene tournament registration pages will be posted below as they become available.

DGPT Tour Card holders who do not pre-register for the entire season at once are eligible to register via their Tour Pass throughout the year up to the deadlines listed below. 

NOTE: Any Tour Card holder who does not register for an event via their Tour Pass in compliance with the deadlines below will need to register via normal tiered ratings-based registration or qualification events. 

2025 TOUR PASS REGISTRATION DEADLINES

NOTE: The final two DGPT Playoffs (MVP Open & DGPT Championship) will be qualifier-only events. Thus, registration cannot be done via the DGPT Tour Card registration page. Competitors will receive notifications to register for playoff events later in the season after they have qualified.

MONDAY QUALIFIER EVENTS

Not guaranteed at every event. 

• Each DGPT tournament may hold a singular play-in event the same week as the tournament (one round early in the event week, typically on Monday) that will award two (2) FPO and two (2) MPO spots in the official tournament.
• For information on Monday Qualifier events, please first check the event registration page on Discgolfscene.com for details (links are listed in the ratings-based registration tab).  If you have questions after reviewing the registration information, then you can reach out to the Tournament Director for the event in question or email DGPT Operations at operations@dgpt.com.
• DGPT Playoffs (Green Mountain Championship, the MVP Open, and Tour Championship) are only open to players who qualify via the DGPT World Standings. Thus, there is no Monday Qualifier event at those tournaments. 

REGIONAL QUALIFYING EVENTS

Not guaranteed at every event. 

• For each DGPT event, the Tournament Director may designate other regional tournaments to serve as a qualifier and award up to two (2) total FPO and up to two (2) total MPO spots. Spots are awarded to the winner and runner-up of each regional event. If winners in regional qualifiers have already secured entry into the DGPT event, qualification passes to the player with the next best finish in the division. 
• Each event is in charge of announcing which tournaments have been chosen, and they will be listed on this page as the information becomes available. Please contact the appropriate Tournament Director if you have any questions.
  

NOTE: Sponsor exemptions must be submitted at least 30 calendar days before the event to be considered. Registration via sponsor exemption carries a higher registration fee. 

• The DGPT allows a limited number of players to enter each regular season event via sponsor exemption. This method of entry is designed to allow sponsors a chance for their upcoming players to participate in a DGPT event.
• Exemptions are awarded by both the DGPT and the local organizing committee (LOC); entities can grant up to 4 MPO and 2 FPO exemptions each.
• To apply for a sponsor exemption directly with the DGPT, fill out the form below. For LOC exemptions, reach out to the Tournament Director to inquire.
• All players who qualify via sponsorship exemption must meet minimum rating requirements and all other eligibility requirements to register for a DGPT event.
• Please ensure you indicate who is requesting the exemption (are you a sponsor requesting on behalf of a player, are you a parent or guardian?)
• Make sure to indicate why you are applying for a sponsor Exemption.

2027 Tour Card Qualification Criteria 

With 2026 Tour Cards already awarded and ratings-based registration beginning to open for the upcoming season, the DGPT has also published the following information on qualifying for a Tour Card next year (2027). 

2027 DGPT Tour Card Qualification Methods

Beyond the above listed methods of qualification for a full Tour Card, which gives access to pre-registration for the whole DGPT season, the Tour will also award a smaller number of Partial Tour Cards, which provides access to a smaller set of tournaments each year and is intended for up and coming players and those who will compete regionally or on specific legs of the Tour. The DGPT will award Partial Tour Cards to a limited number of players who apply for a Tour Card exemption, and via the National Amateur Disc Golf Tour (NADGT), as follows. 

Partial Tour Card Qualification via the NADGT

Finally, the DGPT will continue to offer a separate European Tour Card (now called the EuroTour Card) for the 2027 season, designed to make it easier for top European athletes to register for local and regional tournaments each year. Players will qualify for a 2027 European Tour Card via the 2026 EuroTour Standings as follows.

2027 EuroTour Card Qualification Methods

Displacement rules are in effect, meaning that if a European player has already qualified for a full DGPT Tour Card, their European Tour Card spot will be passed down to the next player in the EuroTour standings. European athletes who qualified for a Full Tour Card may also elect to take a European Tour Card instead if they anticipate being unable to travel to the U.S. for a full Tour in 2027. 

Exemption Applications

The DGPT will continue to offer a limited number of Tour Card exemptions. Players seeking a 2027 exemption will be invited to submit an exemption application. Tour Cards will be awarded based on a provided narrative, points standings, PDGA player rating, and other considerations related to injury, international travel, and ability to participate throughout the year. Exemption applications for the 2027 season will open after the conclusion of the 2026 season. 

Other Ways to Play on Tour in 2027

While the Tour Card will continue to be the main method of event qualification and registration in 2027, the Tour also remains committed to providing additional pathways to compete on the Tour. As is the case this year and in previous seasons, the DGPT will offer a limited number of spots at each tournament to players who qualify via a sponsor exemption or at a week of or a regional qualifying event. Ratings-based registration will also available, but may open directly to the waitlist depending on Tour Card registration numbers.
