LOOKING FORWARD TO 2026

​

The Wisconsin Tour goal for the 2026 season is to offer plenty of roster spots. To support players committed to the WI Tour by maintaining good solid tournaments on challenging and historic courses. We are always interested in listening to ways to promote disc golf. This year we are adding a WI Disc Golf Tour tournament in Green Bay!!!! Now the third largest city in WI will partner with the WI Tour in big part because of the Shorewood Course on the UW Green Bay campus. This B Tier will play Pamperin and Pinecrest using 2 pools on Saturday, followed by tee times at Shorewood on Sunday.

​

We recommend Tour Td's use a tiered entry system that could relieve some of the super quick sellouts of some tournaments. Some Td's have been starting registration with set numbers of players for divisions, which helps as well. Especially for small divisions. If a WI Tour tournament is posted online even before registration is open and they do not have your division listed with an amount of spots saved for a certain amount of time, please contact the TD to give your division a chance to play. 

​

Every year the Tour committee critiques the WI Tour, resulting in changes. We try to figure out how to make it work for as many players and TDs as possible. The WI Tour started in 1993 with four tournaments. In 33 years, it has grown from a small community into a highly popular sport. The tour is honored to include Sandy Point Resort and Disc Golf Ranch, Justin Trails Resort, Rollin Ridge DGC, Highbridge Hills, I Fling Plastic Disc Shop, Riverside Disc Golf Shop, Tri-Fox Disc Golf Shop and Door Disc Golf Shop as businesses with courses and pro shops or brick and mortar shops that direct WI Tour stops. Wilderness Campground is another business that offers a WI Tour stop. Pandemonium Golf Discs, Birdie House, Disc Golf Experience and Wingz Golf Discs are vendors that direct many tournaments including The WI Disc Golf Tour events. Sheboygan Eagles, Stevens Point Area Disc Golf, Lakeshore Ladies Disc Golf Corp., Chippewa Valley Disc Golf Club and Discover Eastern WI Disc Golf all run WI Disc Golf Tour tournaments. This gives WI Tour players a great variety of directors on many wonderful courses. Historic as well as new challenging courses. Choose your favorite events or experience events you have not sampled yet.

​

The 2026 WI Disc Golf Tour Finale will be hosted by Josh Hamm at Dretzka Park on October 3, 2026. Players must earn invitations using earned points at WI Tour tournaments during this 2026 season, 8 tournament scores can be used for your season total. This is a change from the last few seasons that used 10 tournament scores. Tour champion plaques will be awarded at the Finale. Players do not have to be from Wisconsin to earn points toward qualifying for the Finale.

​WIDISCSPORTS CALENDAR AND MORE

I would like to remind players that widiscsports.com has posted a working calendar of all WI tournaments that go through the current PDGA State Coordinator, Mike Harrington. Not just WI Tour, but any organized event. We will add as many registration links as we can. TDs should add links here.

This is the same website that includes tour points, rules, and an archive that is in the process of documenting WI people, places and events that have shaped Frisbee and disc sports in the state.

This website also includes a list of every Developmental fund donation WDSA has awarded. Just short of $100,000 from 2000 to 2025. This is money raised with a $1 donation from every player at every WI Tour tournament. This is part of the reason that there are so many disc golf courses in WI.

There is a fun state map that interactively tracks the history of course development. From the first 15 to over 450 courses now. 1982 - now. An average of 11 courses per year.

THE WI DISC GOLF TOUR

In Wisconsin, we have an active tour that tracks player’s scores for a series of tournaments. The tour provides the “most coveted” black disc for each division’s champion at each tour stop. At the end of the season, trophies are awarded to the state tour champion and runners up in each division at our end of the season finale. This is a tour not a single tournament championship.

DIVISIONS

​​Divisions recognized for black disc, points and tour champion

1.    For divisions with 3 or more players, the tour will track points and offer a black disc to the division winner.
2.    If a particular division has been awarded a Black Disc at 5 or more events, the tour will award a Tour Champion for that division at the end of the season.
3.    This is a points series meaning that the player earning the most points through the season becomes Tour Champion. The number of stops that count toward your points total will be 8 of your top point tournaments or stops. There will be one woman only tournament giving women a total of 22 tournaments to enter. One masters only tournament will give master men 21 stops to enter. That leaves 20 stops for all the other divisions.

​

​​A note to players, Most TD's will be agreeable to include additional divisions if they are contacted in advance and if they are assured of having a minimum of players in that division. Also, players will only receive points in the division which they are registered. Black discs will only be awarded to divisions with 3 or more players.

​

In the 2026 season the WI Disc Golf Tour will not use the point series Division Waiver Rule. All PDGA Sanctioned point series tours have the right to either use or not use this rule. This means a player may earn points from any division they play in to qualify for the Finale. Points from multiple divisions can not be combined. All players must abide by the current PDGA rating system updates through the entire season. Td’s must follow the PDGA rules and move players to the division the player is currently rated in. ​
