BULLSEYE

On Wednesday, the PDGA announced locations for the 2024 PDGA Majors.

A highlight of the announcement is the World Championship being held in Virginia for the first time. A feature course of the event will be the New London Tech DGC, designed by the reigning world champ, Paul McBeth.

There was talk of the World Championship making its first debut in Europe in 2024, but Christmas did not come early for those in Europe. At the earliest, they will have to wait until 2025 to host the World Championship on their home turf.
