DGPT teams with Tigers for Disc Golf Day at Comerica Park
Disc golf's Worlds week will spill into Comerica Park, where Tigers fans can buy a ticket bundle with a limited-edition Buzzz and meet top pros.
The Disc Golf Pro Tour is taking its biggest championship week off the course and into Comerica Park, pairing the buildup to the 2026 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships with a Detroit Tigers game in a bid to put disc golf in front of a wider Detroit sports crowd. Disc Golf Day at Comerica Park is set for Monday, August 24, 2026, and the move is designed to make Worlds week feel less like a niche stop and more like a citywide sports event.
The package goes well beyond a standard ticket to the Tigers’ game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Fans will be able to buy a special bundle that includes admission and a limited-edition ESP SuperColor Buzzz made in collaboration with the Tigers, JomezPro and Discraft. A limited number of VIP packages will also include a custom Confetti Fuzed Buzzz, giving the promotion clear collector appeal for disc golfers while adding a souvenir that can work as a conversation starter for baseball fans who may be seeing the sport up close for the first time.
The player lineup is what gives the night real weight inside the disc golf world. Anthony Barela, Ezra Aderhold, Adam Hammes, Paige Pierce, Holyn Handley and Missy Gannon are among the pros scheduled to appear during the game, turning the event into more than a branded giveaway tied to an MLB date. That kind of access matters for a sport still trying to turn occasional curiosity into repeat fandom, especially in a setting like Comerica Park, where the scale and atmosphere are already familiar to mainstream sports audiences.
The timing is no accident. The 2026 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships are scheduled for August 26-30 in Milford, Michigan, and the PDGA lists the event as sanctioned for 300 players. Invitations are based on performance during the 2025 season, and players must be current 2026 members and certified officials to register. With DGPT, JomezPro, Ledgestone Disc Golf, Discraft and the Detroit Tigers all attached, the Comerica Park night reads as both a sponsor-driven activation and a test case for how disc golf can borrow credibility from a major-league stage while still selling its own culture.
