Bradley Williams, Jennifer Allen, and Five Other Innova Athletes Win Masters World Titles
A Tough Decision Pays Off
Bradley Williams had a decision to make. He was still in position to qualify for the DGPT Championship, but playing the MVP Open would mean missing the first Masters World Championship of his career. Bradley chose Worlds and it paid off with the MP40 title.
He led a huge week for Team Innova at the 2026 PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships, with seven wins and podium finishes in 10 divisions, including Team Captain Jennifer Allen earning her first World title.
Bradley Williams (MP40)
Bradley Williams made his Masters debut count. After three rounds, he sat two strokes off the lead. Then he took over.
Bradley shot 15-under in Round 4 at Sunset Hills, a 1077-rated round that moved him six strokes clear of Nate Sexton. He closed with a six-under final round at Northwood Black to finish at 38-under and win by 12.
The victory gives Bradley a World title in his first-ever Masters event, rewarding the difficult decision to skip the final DGPT event of the regular season and chase a Major instead.
Nate Sexton finished second at 26-under to give Team Innova the top two spots in MP40.

Jennifer Allen (FP40)
After finishing runner-up at Masters Worlds last year, Jennifer Allen moved to the top of the podium in 2026. She went wire-to-wire, separating herself from the field with a six-under, 1003-rated Round 3 at Sunset Hills. She went on to win FP40 by 10 strokes over Sarah Hokom, with teammate Holly Finley taking third. The victory is the first World title of Jennifer’s career and her seventh PDGA Masters Major.
Few players can match Jennifer’s longevity at the highest level of the sport. More than two decades into her professional career, she still regularly competes in FPO and continues to find success against the best players in the world. Now, the longtime Team Innova Captain can add World Champion to her resume.
Ohn, the five-time defending FP40 World Champion, chose a different path this year. She played the MVP Open instead of Masters Worlds, securing the top spot in the Powerball World Standings heading into the DGPT Championship.

Juliana Korver (FP50)

The win continues a run that includes Masters Worlds titles in 2023, 2024, and 2025, along with wins at both the U.S. Masters and U.S. Women’s earlier this season.
