This guy put a lot of thought into this article, a little too much imo. So I copied the wrap up here because it's takes a couple minutes to find what his point is.

TLDR:
I completely disagree with the last paragraph. Disc golf has been 5 years from "making it big" since I joined in the late 80s.

TLDR:
All of this brings us to a somewhat logical conclusion: the PDGA ought to step back from dedicating resources to the National Tour and the promotion of professional disc golf and allow the DGPT to advance this sport to the next level. The Players Disc Golf Association should continue to promote and grow the sport at the local and regional levels, assist tournament directors (and compensate them for their "volunteerism" – that's an essay for another time), provide sanctioning and insurance for A-, B-, and C-tier events, and continue to hold the PDGA World Championships.
Soon enough, the pool of elite players will expand (it's only a matter of time before an Olympic caliber athlete chooses disc golf), the outside money shows up, and the PDGA will be overwhelmed as it's currently constituted. Setting up the DGPT now to run a single tour expressly geared towards our very best players benefits everyone. Players will know which events to play to maximize their earning potential, fans will have a single tour to follow via existing disc golf media outlets, and those outside looking in will know exactly how to enter our community.
