DGPT names OTB Europe presenting partner for EuroTour boost

The Disc Golf Pro Tour is putting a heavier commercial frame around its European circuit, naming OTB Europe the presenting partner of the DGPT EuroTour and tying the deal to a broadcast plan that reaches far beyond simple logo placement.

The move gives the EuroTour a more defined shape as a subsidiary competition circuit for European pros, with eight tournaments across five countries from June through September. It also gives the standings real consequence: players can earn Tour Card access through results in three DGPT Elite Series events, the European Open, the lone PDGA Pro Major in the European standings path, and four EuroTour A-Tiers. In other words, Europe is not being treated as a side stop. It now has its own ladder, its own points race and a route to bigger opportunities.

The media plan is the clearest sign that the partnership is being built as infrastructure rather than decoration. Fans will get full live MPO and FPO coverage at the European Open, Swedish Open and Ale Open. At the Heinola Open, MPO will be live while FPO will be post-produced. MDG Media will work with JomezPro across the European schedule, and MDG will handle post-produced coverage for the four remaining EuroTour events beginning with the Pärnu Open. That kind of consistency matters in a region where visibility has often been fragmented from stop to stop.

OTB Europe brings more than a name to the package. DGPT described it as a Sweden-based disc golf retailer and distribution partner built to serve the European market at scale, and the tour said OTB has supported it for nearly a decade. Sean Jack said the relationship had grown into a natural fit as OTB opened a Pro Shop at Ale Disc Golf Center and took on a larger role helping distribute products in Europe. For the DGPT, that is the kind of partner that can make a circuit feel less like an imported tour and more like a regional property with staying power.

The timing fits the direction of the European swing as well. DGPT said the 2025 summer run drew more than 25,000 spectators in person and more than 1.3 million live viewers on Championship Sunday, evidence that the audience is already there. The 2026 schedule was built to keep the touring field together more often, with only one PDGA Pro Major in Europe instead of two and a smaller number of World Standings points events than in 2025. The European Open will run June 18-21 in Tallinn, Estonia, and the full European slate stretches through Estonia, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic and Poland, with Juha Kytö, Mikko Wikman and Leiv Aspén helping guide the post-merger era after the European Pro Tour joined the DGPT in 2024.
