The 2022 United States Disc Golf Championship (USDGC) and Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship (TPWDGC) are returning to Winthrop University this weekend for the most anticipated and prestigious-to-win competitions of the season. 

Taking place at the Winthrop Arena for the 24th consecutive year on October 6-9, the USDGC is often a career-defining and life-changing event. To win is to go down in history as one of the greats. Beyond the competition itself, the USDGC has become the best-attended tournament in the States for a reason; the team in Rock Hill runs an event that not only exceeds expectations for a disc golf tournament, but would exceed expectations for any professional sporting event. 

The addition of the Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship has been the most significant and exciting change to Championship Week of the past twenty years. Running concurrently with the USDGC from October 6-9, the TPWDGC is a showcase event of 40 of the top female athletes in our sport, playing on behalf of women everywhere struggling with breast cancer. It is a chance to highlight the spectacular talent at the top of Women’s disc golf, inspire new players through the example of our top athletes’ performance, and do it all in the name of a noble cause. With an unbelievable line-up of qualified players, the 2022 USDGC and 2022 TPWDGC are events you won’t want to miss.
