Ultiworld Disc Golf’s coverage of the 2021 United States Disc Golf Championship and Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship is presented by Skybreed Discs, a top online retailer and preferred vendor of the 2021 Ledgestone Insurance Open.
When we asked Ultiworld staff writers to pick the podiums and a dark horse contender for the 2021 USDGC and TPWDGC, a limited number of overall winners were picked with favorites reigning supreme.
Dark Horse Criteria: We’re excluding the top 15 in MPO from the Power Rankings. Additionally, any players falling outside the top 15 who are rated 1030 or higher can’t be a dark horse.
FPO Dark Horse Criteria: To be a Dark Horse pick, a player must be rated lower than 950. We eliminated Power Ranking restrictions for the event.
