The second stop of the 2020 Disc Golf Pro Tour is the Waco Annual Charity Open presented by Prodigy Disc. The action kicks off Thursday, March 12, and runs through Saturday, March 14. One of the crown jewels of Texas disc golf, this three-round tournament will be contested at Brazos Park East on the bEast layout, where Paul McBeth shot an 18-under par from the chase card during round two last year to propel himself to victory. On the Open Women's side, Catrina Allen took the W after an impressive 7-under par final fueled a comeback.
There are many ways to follow the event, including through the Disc Golf Network’s (DGN) live coverage. Rounds one and two will be available live exclusively to Disc Golf Network subscribers, while Saturday's final will be streamed for free on DGN and simulcast on the DGPT YouTube channel. In addition, there’s a full slate of post-production, with three shot-by-shot teams and photography and ancillary interview coverage.
In-Person Spectating
Brazos Park East is close to downtown Waco and is a fantastic, free venue for watching the world's best disc golfers. Half the course is open, while the other half is tightly wooded. Galleries may be limited in the wooded areas.
