Update to FPO Eligibility Criteria for 2023 Pro Worlds
At the request of the local organizing committee (LOC) for the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships, the PDGA Board of Directors has approved an adjustment to player eligibility criteria for the event.
Transgender women are now eligible to compete in the FPO division at 2023 Pro Worlds if any one of the three sets of criteria in C.1, C.2, or C.3. of the PDGA Policy on Eligibility for Gender-Based Divisions are met.
The LOC was awarded the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships in December 2021, a full year before major changes to the PDGA Policy on Eligibility for Gender-Based Divisions were announced by the PDGA Board of Directors in December 2022. The PDGA has agreed to honor the LOC’s request to adhere to the original conditions in place when the agreement was executed.
The PDGA recognizes the value of diversity and inclusion for the sport of disc golf. The PDGA also supports the right of all members of the disc golf community to live as their authentic selves. Hate speech or harassment of players will not be tolerated, whether online, as governed by the PDGA Community Guidelines, or in person at an event, as governed by the PDGA Disciplinary Policy and Process.
