My 2025 Season Calendar

Although January sometimes feels endless, the new season is quickly approaching. Soon, it will be time to bring the suitcases down from the attic and start packing for the competition circuit once again. In this post, I want to introduce my competition calendar for this year and share some insights into how I plan my schedule. According to my initial plan, 2025 looks like this:

• March 14-16: Waco Open

• March 20-23: The Open at Austin

• March 29-30: Jonesboro Open

• April 4-6: Music City Open

• May 1-4: PDGA Champions Cup

• May 23-25: Konopiště Open

• June 6-8: Ale Open

• June 13-15: Preserve Championship

• June 19-22: USWDGC

• June 26-29: European Championships

• July 4-6: PCS Open

• July 11-13: Krokhol Open

• July 17-20: European Disc Golf Festival

• July 26: World Championships Mixed Doubles

• July 30-August 3: World Championships

• August 7-17: World Games

• August 22-24: LWS Open at Idlewild

• September 18-21: GMC

• September 25-28: MVP

• October 9-12: Throw Pink

• October 16-19: DGPT Championship

As you can see, another busy year is ahead. My calendar is organized around the same core principles as in previous seasons. First, I focus on the majors. I’m thrilled that two of them are nearby this year - one in my home country and the other in a neighboring country, scheduled back-to-back. The only major requiring a separate trip is the PDGA Champions Cup, where I plan to return home afterward without adding other competitions. Thankfully, right before USWDGC, there’s a DGPT event, which makes it a bit easier to adjust to the time difference. However, as soon as I finish the major, I’ll need to travel to Norway for the European Championship. It feels a little odd to have two big events back-to-back like this, and I’m somewhat anxious about how quickly I’ll be able to get back into rhythm once I’m in Europe. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly!

After the majors, my focus shifts to fit in the DGPT series. I prioritize events scheduled back-to-back and try to avoid long gaps in the calendar while away so I can spend more time at home with my daughter. That’s why I’m starting my season in Waco. While there is a gap week on this trip, I plan to fill it with an A-tier event in Jonesboro, one of my absolute favorite venues.

The summer will be particularly demanding, with no free weeks in sight. In addition to DGPT stages and majors, this year’s schedule includes the European Championships in Norway and the World Games in China, where disc golf will make its debut. While these events might not be as well-known to the wider disc golf audience, I feel it’s important to represent my country and help promote the sport, so I’m honored to participate.

Because I have a packed calendar, I’ve limited myself to only nine DGPT stages (plus hopefully make it to the playoffs and DGPT Championship in addition to that) for now. Depending on how I feel as the season progresses, I may make adjustments, likely by scaling back, even though I understand it probably affects my overall points standings compared to other athletes. But at the same time it would allow more time for recovery and time with my daughter. Throughout my career, I’ve always prioritized quality over quantity, and that won’t change this year, but hopefully I can make it through this year by participating in all the events that I listed.

Lastly, I want to share the contents of my bag at the start of the season. While most discs remain unchanged, I’ve added a couple of new ones to fill specific gaps. I needed a midrange that falls between the Claymore and Verdict in flight characteristics, so I’ve decided to give the Compass another chance. It’s a disc I used often when I first joined Latitude 64 but eventually phased out for some reason. After testing it in Spain and at home, I’m confident it’s exactly what I needed. Similarly, I wanted something between the Glory and Fortress, and I found the perfect fit with the Honor, which I also tested in Spain and loved.

Here’s my bag setup for the season:

Putting putters:

• Medium Moonshine Pure

Approach discs:

• Medium Moonshine Harp

• Gold Line Pure

• Gold Line Savior

Midranges:

• Gold Line Claymore

• Gold Line Compass

• Lucid Verdict

• Lucid Justice

Fairways:

• Orbit Saint Pro

• Fuzion Felon

• Opto Explorer

• Grand Glory

• Grand Honor

• Tournament Fortress

Drivers:

• Orbit Grace

• Orbit Rive

I do carry multiple discs of the same mold (sometimes also in some different plastics), but I listed the molds with the mainly used plastics. I also adjust the contents of my bag based on the course. However, these are the discs I rely on to cover all possible needs on various layouts.

Some of these discs are available in my online shop, while the rest can be found at the Latitude 64 store.

I hope you enjoyed this review and I look forward to seeing you out on the course this season!
