FORT WORTH, Texas - The Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) is pleased to announce that Powerball®, the iconic national lottery game known for record-breaking jackpots and life-changing wins, has become the Tour’s official presenting partner.
“This partnership brings together two organizations focused on creating meaningful opportunities for players and supporting local communities,” said Sean Jack, VP of Partnerships for the DGPT. “The Disc Golf Pro Tour builds stages for players to compete at the highest level, while Powerball, in addition to creating millionaires overnight, generates funding for education, veteran services, and other public programs, keeping more than half of ticket proceeds in the communities where they’re sold. Together, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to expanding opportunity and delivering lasting impact.”
“For years, Powerball has brought the country together to dream big – and now we’re ready to play even bigger with the DGPT,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO. “This partnership allows Powerball to get outside, connect with DGPT’s growing fan base and highlight how the game helps improve local communities.”
“Welcoming Powerball as the Tour’s overall presenting partner represents a landmark moment for the sport,” said Jeff Spring, DGPT CEO. “This multi-year partnership, currently in place for the next two seasons, is the largest in the Tour’s history and will allow us to make meaningful investments in Tour infrastructure and long-term development. This partnership will help to strengthen our events, expand opportunities for players, and elevate fan experience.”
The Tour will now be officially known as the Disc Golf Pro Tour Presented by Powerball®, with Powerball’s name also attached to key components of the Tour’s competition structure throughout the year, including the season-long points race now named the Powerball® DGPT World Standings, and the closing stretch of season tournaments competing under the banner of the Powerball® DGPT Playoffs.
The season will culminate with the newly named 2026 Powerball® Cup, which will serve as the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship, where the season’s top performers compete for the title of Disc Golf Pro Tour Champion. Thanks to this partnership, the 2026 Powerball® Cup will set a new record as the largest purse in DGPT history.
In addition, Powerball will be featured at the following U.S-based DGPT events, giving five ticketed spectators at each tournament the chance to make an ace for cash prizes. The five spectators will be chosen randomly after pre-registration and meeting minimum age requirements. This half-time style promotion, known as the Powerball Ace, will offer a hole-in-one prize starting at $5,000 and will debut at the Supreme Flight Open in Brooksville, Fla. If no ace is hit, the prize pot will increase by $1,000 for the next tournament, and then reset to $5,000 once someone aces. At each tournament, the throw that lands closest to the pin will win $500.

“We’re excited to debut the Powerball Ace promotion to create thrilling, memorable fan moments,” said Jay Finks, Powerball Marketing Committee Chair and Oklahoma Lottery Director. “Powerball is a game of chance for everyday people, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate fans than by giving them a chance to win money while playing a sport they love.”
This exciting partnership was brokered with the support of PIVOT Agency, a full-spectrum sports marketing, travel, and lifestyle agency based in Alamo, CA.
"This partnership is a major milestone for the Disc Golf Pro Tour and a strong sign of its continued momentum,” said Patrick Cassidy, EVP of Property Sales at PIVOT Agency. “Powerball is an iconic brand, and we congratulate both organizations on a partnership that elevates the tour and reflects DGPT’s growing impact in the sports landscape."
