USDGC and Throw Pink Qualifying Nearly Wrapped

Who Made the Cut?

After a season of qualifying events from A-Tiers, to Elite Series, to Majors, the fields for the United States Disc Golf Championship and Throw Pink Championship are nearly set. For players who haven’t earned their spot yet, the last stop on the Road to the Championship is Monday Qualifying.

Innova enters its 27th year as founding sponsor of the USDGC, a partnership in which the event and the company have shaped each other. The tournament not only showcases disc golf’s top athletes, but also drives innovation — pushing disc golf forward, helping you Throw Your Best, and elevating the game to its fullest.

For Team Innova, the 2025 lineup of qualified athletes includes talent from across the globe. Veterans like Calvin Heimburg, Nate Sexton, and Barry Schultz bring years of USDGC experience, competing alongside international standouts like Finland’s Rasmus Saukkoriipi and Sweden’s Dennis Augustsson.

On the FPO side, Ohn Scoggins, Eveliina Salonen, and Henna Blomroos headline a team packed with contenders for the Throw Pink title. Rising stars Sofia Donnecke and Rebecca Don of Canada bring the potential for breakout storylines, and Norway’s Ida Emilie Nesse makes her Throw Pink Championship debut.

With just three weeks until tee-off, the countdown is on for the biggest celebration of disc golf in the world.
