I've had a couple people ask about having an active PDGA number and qualifying. The answer "If the qualifier is sanctioned such that an active PDGA membership is not required, then yes, you could compete and qualify for the US Doubles Main Event. However, the US Doubles Main Event is a PDGA B-tier event and would require a current PDGA Membership to play in the main event."

In addition to new divisions, the USDGC Doubles team is also adjusting the thresholds required to award multiple qualifying spots at each qualifier event—making it easier than ever for players to earn their way to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for the prestigious USDGC Doubles Main Event held the first weekend of October.

“The USDGC Doubles Qualifier Series has always been about giving amateur players a chance to experience the excitement and prestige of the USDGC stage,” said Event Co-Director Dave George. “By expanding our divisions and adjusting qualification thresholds, we’re making sure even more players have that opportunity in 2026.”
