The Lexington Open XXVIII showcases some of Central Kentucky’s top disc golf venues while providing high-level competition rooted in sportsmanship and community. Whether you’re competing for a podium finish or pushing your personal limits, we’re glad you’re here.LWS Open Regional Qualifier — DGPT Opportunity
The 2026 Lexington Open is officially designated as a Regional Qualifier for the 2026 LWS Open at Idlewild — a major opportunity for competitive players.
With DGPT events becoming increasingly competitive through tiered registration, regional qualifiers now provide local players a pathway into elite competition. This event will award:
• 2 MPO qualifying spots
• 2 FPO qualifying spots
The highest-finishing eligible players not already registered for Idlewild will receive a guaranteed opportunity to register (entry fee still required). If a player declines or is unable to compete, the qualifying spot passes to the next eligible finisher. Players will have 24–48 hours to accept or decline their invitation.
