A Disc Golf Championship Unlike Any Other...

There are top level disc golf championships, but none offer the experiences you'll find at the Players Cup. Shoot against the best players in the world on a pristine championship course. Stay at a luxury resort. Commune with manatees and other exotic wildlife. Try scuba, go boating. Bring your family, Orlando is near. You'll make memories to last a lifetime when you immerse yourself in Florida's amazing Gulf Coast in late November...
