About the Team Disc Golf Championships
The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) runs the World Team Disc Golf Championships (WTDGC) as a bi-annual international event. Previous WTDGC have been held in Canada, Great Britain, Estonia, Croatia and Perth, Australia. Australia had its best result in 2024 finishing in 2nd place.
WTDGC organising body WFDF is the international sports federation responsible for world governance of flying disc sports, including disc golf, ultimate, freestyle and others. Recognised by the International Olympic Committee, The International World Games Association, and other world sports bodies, WFDF represents over 100 countries.
The team championships present a rare opportunity to play disc golf in a team environment and to represent your country on the international stage. To incorporate teamwork the event has a matchplay format with both singles and alternate shot doubles matchups. Another important aspect of the competition is that teams record scores for their opponents in Spirit of the Game (SOTG) categories. The spirit score incorporates knowledge of the Rules, Communication and Behaviour. At WTDGC in Croatia 2022, Australia was the spirit award winner.
More information about the event will be posted in coming months on www.wtdgc.sport and https://www.facebook.com/wfdf.wtdgc.
