Third round of player selection for the PDGA Presidents Cup at the European Disc Golf Festival!
Today, the Competition Directors for PDGA Global and PDGA Europe are adding two more players to their teams. Here they are, along with the reasons for their selection:
TEAM USA
“When it came time to select Team USA, I kept it simple and went with the top finishers:
Isaac Robinson made the decision easy with his strong finish and consistent play all weekend last year, highlighted by his first 1100-rated round.
Ella Hansen was also an easy choice as the top-rated U.S. finisher behind Silva and Kristen, and she’s proven she can handle this course—she currently holds the FPO course record with a 56.”
Phill Diloné, Professional Disc Golf Association Competition Manager
TEAM EUROPE:
“Joona Heinänen got third place on this course in 2024 only behind Ricky and Paul: This course suits him well and spectators will love his distance throws.
Iida Lehtomäki is representing the new generation of players. She earned all rights to represent Europe last year at Pro Worlds. Definitely, Europe has a strong future in the FPO field!”
Matej Verl, PDGA Europe Tour Manager
All that remains now is for the two non-playing Team Captains, Catrina Allen (Team USA) and Kristin Lätt (Team Europe), to announce their three players plus one reserve picks in each division on Friday, June 12, four days before the event. Stay tuned!
