After 30 years of active existence, The Disc Golf Hall of Fame (DGHoF) announces a major renaming and new brand logo.  The non-profit organization is now the World Disc Golf Hall of Fame.

​

Disc Golf is a sport played competitively and recreationally by more than 4 million people on more than 15, 000 courses globally.  The DGHoF was established in 1993 to highlight life-time achievements of individuals, preserve the sport's history and educate current and future enthusiasts about the Highest Honor in disc golf. 

 

Currently the DGHoF has 99 members from 7 countries over 4 different continents around the world.  With the recent explosion of the sport’s popularity reaching a global audience, it is time the organization’s name reflects that expansion…  World Disc Golf Hall of Fame. 

 

The current world-wide members of the DGHoF will automatically be recognized as official members of the World Disc Golf Hall of Fame.
