Where is David Wiggins Jr.?

[Forehand Shiver]

Does he compete anymore? The guy could bomb.

 

[Plankeye]

When he left for college it seemed like most of his free time was spent fishing

His PDGA profile says he lives in New Orleans.

He is signed up for a PDGA event on August 1st.

2020 Pot of Gold 2.0

Maybe he just discs for the fun of it and is good enough to play pro?

 

[Riverdog]

He's a great "youngun"! Still have Jolly Rancher's stuck in the carpet of my old Suburban from him. [emoji41]

His dad is a doctor and pretty sure Jr was planning on a similar career route. Back in the DGR days his father would post, vaguely remember him saying any pro winnings were going towards college.

He's building boats. Maybe even living on a boat, if I remember correctly from when I saw him in 2018.

If he's in NOLA and likes to fish I'm guessing he's spending his free time around Grand Isle, LA. It's redfish season right now.

A top pro angler can make anywhere from 50k-500k a year. Maybe he's looking to go pro.

His dg style reminds me of Guthrie, but Guthrie has a much better short game imop.

Ever since that last big D event where he reclaimed the title from Simon it seems like he's largely moved off DG.

Makes sense. Gurthie has been touring for most of 10 years, whereas Wiggins essentially stopped trying to develop as a player when he was 20 years old.

Little Wigg is studying Marine Engineering (and if I remember correctly, was on track to graduate this year) and is/was living on a boat (instead of in a dorm or apt) that he bought and has been renovating/upgrading (applied engineering) since he started college.

Necrobump, but it looks like Wiggins is on the final card for round 1 of TDTM tomorrow, along with Paul McBeth, Charlie Goodpasture and Nate Perkins. I think I heard Terry Miller thediscgolfguy would be filming. I hope so!

 

[Brenzo44]

He's been playing a few tournaments out here in Louisiana, frequently shows up at any tourney close enough to New Orleans

 

[Streets]

I remember watching Wiggins on McFly So High (back when he was bringing us good NC/SC disc golf) and being impressed with his ability to yeet an old Champion Rhyno like 400 ft.

 

[dehaas]

I believe for a while at least he used to throw the CE QMS with laser like precision?

 

[BuiltTooLong]

From the tourneys I've watched and the times I've seen him in person, it was actually his inaccuracy off the tee that prevented him from the highest echelon. While blessed with ELITE max distance potential, it didn't seem to translate to elite shot-shaping and placement. He is a ton of fun to watch however and his putting is roc solid as well. Would be cool to see him back on the tour again.

He's playing TN this weekend per PDGA website.

Wiggins is the reason Ricky (yep, THAT Ricky) has a Junior Am World's title and not an Advanced Am World's title. David was unstoppable on the amateur circuit in 2010
