USDGC 2017 Media Reach

The United States Disc Golf Championship – or USDGC in short – served also as the Disc Golf World Tour Championship event and finished the season with style! We have a new USDG Champion in Nate Sexton while the DGWT Champion title was won by Ricky Wysocki for the second year in a row. Congratulations to both Champions!

The event was filled with media coverage from all four rounds – including live streams, Instagram videos, photos, play-by-play videos and media rich articles by our DGWT staff on site. While some fans craved for a traditional multi-camera live stream, the play-by-play videos released by The SpinTV still gained serious numbers within the first week from their release. See below for the impressive statistics from our social media sites and the main website:
