Event rankings are well underway in 2025. These are for projecting pro players finish in an orderly way for upcoming events of the pro disc golf season. Our hope is these rankings inform fantasy disc golf participants as well as entertain fans of pro disc golf for this particular event.  

First published: 6:00 am on Tues. May 27th (full list of 25)
Last updated: TBD (this is usually where we note dropped players)
Last checked: 1:15 am on Thur. May 29th (no change since first published)
Event results added: Mon. June 9th (70% of our predictions were semi close or better – which is among our best ever for that stat. 8% for the spot on guesses is much lower than usual.)

A Winning Formula

…is what we someday hope to write about our Event Rankings, and show off just how good AF is at predicting results for pro disc golf tournaments. It continues to show up as challenging, quite humbling, and addictive fun. Predictive analysis is certainly important, though we are learning it takes courage no formula can reasonably obtain. 

With that said, our modest goal is to achieve 20% accuracy in our predictions for the top 30 in FPO, as well as 55% on what we call semi-close or better, or within a tier of being a correct prediction. We count 1 place off in FPO as correct (enough), while exact matches are the ideal. Most weeks we don’t quite hit the goal, but in 2024, we hit the target 7 times, getting 20% accuracy. In our FPO picks for Waco 2025, we got a walloping 30% correct predictions, which is our best ever.

Keeping It Simple

The event predictions are truly meant to be viewed as simple list, depicting projected order they’ll finish from 1 through 25, along with their AF latest ranking, then player name, rating, and actual place they end up at 2025 Northwest Disc Golf Championship tournament.

Colors are adding in layers of added information, that convey how well AF assesses they are doing so far this season, as well as historical performance at the tournament in the past 5 years. Please see our Event Rankings Guide for colorful details.

Ranked Players and the Unranked

Of the 15 or so FPO in the field that are playing, but not part of our list, there are 3 types of players in that mix. Some are ones we rank who are outside top 25, and saved as a sort of waiting list in case others on the list drop from the event. The 2nd type are players who we are tracking, but are not quite fantasy relevant. They could be by the next event, and we will continue to monitor them. The 3rd type are lower rated players who may surprise many and do well at the event, though typically over 4 rounds of Elite Plus level play, they tend to settle near the bottom of the standings. Our hope is to rank them someday, based on them rising up. With that said:
