About this tournament

Note: The PDGA event page and DG Scene registration are currently showing as a B-tier instead of an A-tier. We’re in the process of correcting this—thanks for your patience! (21 Aug 2025)

We are excited to announce details for the 2026 Taranaki Disc Golf Open! This three-day event is proud to be on the 2026 Tour Down Under season. It is also sanctioned by both the PDGA (an A-Tier for both Pro and Ams) and NZDG (50 pointer). The Pro divisions will be playing for an estimated $10,000 purse.

This 54-hole tournament is limited to 160 competitors and will feature the most challenging layout we have presented to date. We are expecting top professionals from the US, Europe and throughout Australasia to compete. Accordingly, the registration schedule will be structured using ratings-based tiers, to allow us to accommodate the strongest possible field.

Format
All divisions: Three 18 hole rounds, one round per day, tee times.
Group 1 (MPO, MP40, MP50, MA1) will play the 'Gold' layout.
Group 2: (FPO, FP40, FP50, FA1, MA40, FA40, MA50, FA50, MA2, FA2, MJ18, FJ18) will play the 'Blue' layout.

Venue
Two temporary championship level layouts will be built for this event. They are similar to those used for the 2025 Egmonster Disc Golf Classic, however we have incorporated some changes after learnings from that event and player feedback. A caddy book detailing them will be released in December.

Player Pack & Prizes
All amateur entries will receive a player pack. This will have a range of goodies, including a premium tournament stamped disc, event merch and a hole in one party voucher. There will also be a stacked prize table up for grabs.
