United States Women's Disc Golf Championships

The United States Women's Disc Golf Championships is a disc golf tournament that has been held annually since 1999. It is one of the major championships in Women's disc golf along with the PDGA World Championships, the PDGA Champions Cup and the European Open. The event crowns champions in several divisions.

History For the first three years, the tournament was played alongside the USDGC at Winthrop University. The tournament was known as the "Women's National Championship" for the first two years of its existence before switching to "United States Women's Disc Golf Championships" for the 2001 tournament. From 2002 to 2007 the USWDGC was held each year in Peoria, Illinois. Beginning in 2008 the location of the tournament has rotated throughout the country. In 2013, the six highest-ranked players in the world, and seven of the top ten competed in Portland, Oregon. The 2014 tournament brought in 98 competitors from 21 states. In 2019, Kristin Tattar out dueled the world #1 ranked Paige Pierce to win her first major and to become the first European player to win the USWDGC. The 2020 USWDGC which was scheduled to take place across three courses in Northern California was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Paige Pierce became the first 4-time winner when she won by 13 strokes. The 2023 USWDGC was won by Kristin Tattar. The victory gave her the Major Grand Slam, having already won the three previous majors in 2023. Tattar was the first woman to accomplish this feat.
