The world's best disc golfers arrived this week to Nokia, Finland. This year the European Open has the strongest field in its history, when 13 out of the 15 best players in the world compete at The Beast. In the MPO division, there are over 80 +1000 rated players, and in the FPO division there are only two under 900 rated women.
The growth of the sport is well visible in the sense that there is also an unprecedented amount of foreign players playing this year at the European Open. Out of the 132 players, 53 are from the United States. While the event is held in Finland, there are only 43 Finnish players.
This year the prize pool is also the greatest European disc golf has ever seen! The players compete for a prize pool of $100,000. For the MPO division winner, there is a prize of $12,500. The FPO division winner takes home $8,250.
