Pro Disc Golf Worlds just concluded this weekend in the most dramatic fashion in the sports history and probably in all of sports history.
Here is a Link to the entire last round which is a nail bitter race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_35PJikJcPs&t=2897s
Edit: Sorry for the watermark I didn't know how else to upload a video to imgur.
ThyDM
And this, after he already aced hole 16 earlier in the week!!! Conrad put on an insane performance this week
MoreAshyThanLarry
James Conrad aka Disc golf Jesus.
grandmathinksimsatan
I used to make fun of this shit till I went out and played. Absolutely addictive
Latetothepartyagain
I mean Eagles fans burn down their city afterwards but I hear you.

This is such a cool sport.
Evanrudeplz
What the fuck, Richard?!
bluetransparentluke
he turns over a putter so well... and that wasn't for the win, that was just to force a playoff. wow

“Gold jacket, green jacket… who gives a shit…”
xETM
You can't use "Pro Disc Golf" and "most dramatic fashion in the sports history" in the same sentence. 1/
xETM
You could get all 18 (?) holes(?) in a single throw and it still wouldn't be true.
AbiQuinn
What an insult to sports that "in all of sports history" comment is :S
mccar7hy
Fuck yes for Disc Golf ion Imgur
EndersdoyouthinkthisisafuckingGame
Considering that James Conrad throws MVP now, I think you just made the most appropriate typo.
ump123456
"most dramatic fashion in the sports history and probably in any sports history."
ImTerrifiedOfNippleChafing
Miracle on Ice? Suck it, disc golf has arrived.
Rfrak
McBeth even reacted. That dude is stone during the games... unless he is mad at himself.
ThyDM
Right? Even though it sucked for him I really think there was some part of him that was like “fuck that was cool”
Rfrak
Yeah. Watching the videos outside of tournaments, you see him loosen up. Seems like he just sinks into the zone during matches.
TheLateNightImgurTimes
Wow so many haters! Disc golf is fun, challenging, near free, and there are courses near you right now. Check your location on udisc and go!
r0b0tc0rpse
Unfortunately he tested negative for marijuana so his win and titles were stripped.
ChicoSlim
He didn’t test POSITIVE and his wins and title were stripped. I believe you were misinformed. This is, after all, disc golf dude.

I knew there was a ponytail involved before it even started!
Porfirij
then you "knew" james conrad was involved, since he's the only top 10 player with a ponytail.
BubbleGumNuggys
A lot of people in the comments that can't throw discs I see
OrangeJesus
Fr. Bet none of them could throw more than 150 ft or get it within 50 ft from the basket on a drive. And 150 ft is short af

I can heiser and anheiser forearm. Backhand I can only heiser proficiently
demolitionlover09
Same :(
TheOGPooner
If my dad saw this… he’d be like “dirty hippies”
TheOldSchoolisBack
ThyDM
That’s unfortunate
stulfer
It's just that one player, if you look at paul mcbeth he's as clean cut as they come
thenetvines
That's ok, your dad is probably a lovable fuckwit.
TheOGPooner
Sweet Jesus… I think it’s time to change your diaper
JessicasJonesing
If you asked me to describe what i thought a pro disc golfer looked like, i would have been pretty spot on.
ThyDM
Eh, that’s just James Conrad. The rest... well they probably look like what you’d expect too
NATA5
I was disappointed in the polo. Was expecting something more... hippie like?
[deleted]

OrangeJesus
“Frisbee golf”-frolf. The only problem is, these aren’t frisbees. Yes, there is a difference between discs and frisbees
TheSHR3DD3R
Lol hey! Those are my people! But... James Conrad DOES pretty much nail the stereotype haha.
Lycion
They look like the caddy of professional golfers to me
ontopofspaghetti
Sandals would have been my first bet. Those black high tops def #2 option doh.
ThyDM
Sandals would make the torque they require to throw 400+ feet almost impossible off the tee shot.
CultofCedar
This is all I was thinking while watching it… I mean that and that sick throw ofc
Sirtopumhat
You are pretty when when we are not asking you what they look like you devil you.
MistLynx
A hippie in overpriced sporting gear?
OrangeJesus
That hippy makes more money playing disc golf than you do at your 9-5
luxter7
What’s the prize winnings?
MistLynx
Argument invalid, I don't have a 9-5
Fenfalleen
shut up idiot with your dumb, biased judgment call and stop proliferating ideas like this. they are toxic.
Froggeh
Commenter did not mean any disrespect. You on the other hand- very much did. Before labeling others as toxic, try looking at yourself. Idiot
Fenfalleen
saying "haha of course X person looks like this" is toxic because it forces stereotypes and disrespects people who don't fit the mold.
Fenfalleen
Think before you speak
Vojens
You might be surprised by the 12 time champion ken Climo
Jay472005
James Conrad is really the nicest dude possible. He's a class act and an outstanding player. I've met him once and he is the real deal.
AlwaysUpvoteBeerCigarsWhisky
He stepped over the line.
bluetransparentluke
well as long as it wasn't his marker, then lines don't matter here.
ShadyBuddha
Mark it zero!
windsingr
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?
MudbuttBrooks
greatnowmysocksarewet
This isn't 'nam this is discgolf. There are rules.
Vesane
What are they? Cos I couldn't figure out how much he was allowed to move around for that throw
greatnowmysocksarewet
Idk this is just a big lebowski reference
LoneBoot
Any sport's history? That's my only quarrel, good sir
bluetransparentluke
Tied the with the 5x cham. 5th round of the 'worlds' 18th hole of the round. Has to make a miracle shot just to force extra playoff holes...
bluetransparentluke
champ*
Baxteen
Yeah. I mean south Africa winning the 95 world cup and Mandela handing over the trophy likely did more for the country than the win did...
OliverClothesoff70
Agreed! I mean, who among us doesn’t remember EXACTLY where he was the day Shaq made that free throw that one time?
stuffinator
Can't blame op, he is probably just hype right now.
walnutbreath
That Phelps finish in the 2008 100 m butterfly was pretty damn amazing. His chase for Spitz' record, the trash talk going into the event,
walnutbreath
and Phelps winning by a literal fingertip with a 0.01 second margin of victory. You didn't have to be a swimming fan or even a sports fan,
walnutbreath
it was just captivating.
stingraysds
Came to say the same; don’t get me wrong, it was a FANTASTIC finish, but pretty tough to stake a claim as most dramatic in history of sport.
themayorMcCheese
.. ya .. I disc golf. The only sport I play .. but in all of sports history? That was emotional and pretty ignorant
shiznitabam
It was 247 ft away. If Brady threw a pass 82 yards to win the Super Bowl people would be losing their minds
stingraysds
Sure. But similar things have happened. Again, not taking away from the shot or the accomplishment, but-
stingraysds
-it’s just not the greatest finish in the history of sport. That’s purely hyperbolic. Still an amazing shot though!
RedLanternGrodd
Can anything really beat the miracle on ice contextually?
LoneBoot
I could get behind that one, based on expectations for that game and the political climate
nontemerenectimide
Japan vs South Africa RWC 2015 is the only event I think that can rival that.
SenfinaZeit
I've got to say Nadia Comaneci scoring a perfect ten in olympic gymnastics has got to be a strong second.
iabsolutelyfckingabhorguns
The Soviets beat the U.S. 10-3 in N.Y. just 3 days before the olympic round began. The Soviets scored 51 goals in 5 games in their division
iabsolutelyfckingabhorguns
which was nearly double the next highest total. In their other final rd game, Soviets beat bronze medalist Sweden 9-2....and still U.S.A.!!!
AtypicalMammal
For Boston - 2004 Sox vs Yankees, came back after being down 3 games. Then went on to win the world series but that's not as important.
nicetomeetme
Good one but baseball is almost exclusively American so probably not top1000
canadianreserve
I don't get why it's a big deal. An underdog story, but sports are filled with them.
Leithreas
I'm biased as a NYer but the wildcard Giants beating the 16-0 Patriots in the Superbowl, including a helmet catch, was pretty damn wild.
godofhorizons
You're bias is clearly showing. I'm sure that was cool, but it's insignificant compared to what the 1980 USA team did. The announcers >
godofhorizons
>compared it to a Canadian Highschool football team beating the Steelers (reigning Superbowl champs at the height of their dynasty), not to>
godofhorizons
>mention the off the ice feud happening between USA and Soviet Union
CSlice06
Yeah, I feel like “the most dramatic conclusion in sports history” would have at least made it to ESPN or, you know, like any sports network
IndyBelle
It did.
CSlice06
No it didn’t
capsizeu24
Yes it was the number 1 moment on sorts center on ESPN...
CSlice06
No it wasn’t. There isn’t even a “number 1 moment” on ESPN.
saysomethingcool
I cannot even believe this is a thing! With sponsors and money payouts and everything!

Been around for decades, recently went through a huge growth spurt during covid.
demolitionlover09
No idea why someone downvoted your 100% true statement. Covid grew the sport more than anything else
ThisAccountExistsForMatureStuff
It's far more entertaining than regular golf too!
YayItsMillerTime
Drug tests?

Would you get disqualified if you're clean?

It’s frolf Jerry, frolf....frisbee golf. I’m sorry you’ve never experienced the summer of George.

I’ve seen professional cornhole on espn. Nothing surprises me anymore
DildoHaeuptling
Same as for football, golf, tennis,...
Munchman347
Not much different than whacking a little ball into a hole for big bucks. Or any other 'Pro-Sport' for that matter...
Aaronb1138
As population grows and scales, every new sport can become big given public willingness to get sucked into paying for ad sponsorship. 1/2
Aaronb1138
Marketing is a tax, primarily for the poor and middle incomes who fall so easily for their schemes.
undeadlemur
Think payouts for Worlds was over 100k this year
undeadlemur
As for sponsors, most do fairly well with a select few having deals in the millions (ie Paul McBeth)
Tooltimedave
Wait till you see Cornhole. Never knew it was popular as it is.
Artoris
"Johnsonville World Cornhole Championship."
purina5
Oh my god, on ESPN as well all the time
saysomethingcool
Same comment about that
the42
Commentators seem like they are trying to sound like gold commentators, but with 1/4 the necessary vocabulary.
EndersdoyouthinkthisisafuckingGame
In their defense, they are doing post-production commentary for a once-in-a-lifetime event they all witnessed in person. Tough to sell.
squirreltactics
Been playing for 15 yrs, equipment is very inexpensive compared to other sports, like $20 per disc at most. Very little overhead for sponsor
squirreltactics
Usually live on YT so again low cost of sponsorship, I have seen on National TV b4 though. Its not like these guys are millionaires.
demolitionlover09
Except Paul. 10 year $10 million sponsorship…
stulfer
It's fucking huge now, and amazingly fun
justyourfriendlyneighborhoodimgurian
I played and liked it enough to buy several discs so that i can have friends play without them needing to buy gear.
Omoi113
That what she/he said last night ;-) wink wink.
CrappleJack
why is it any stupider than any other sport? Baseball?? Baseball and basketball are ridiculous.
adamlh642
Less money and more passion
Ketheres
For now.
somethingstupidandclever
Golf even. Disc golf is 100% cooler than regular ass golf.
shimmerkitten
It's stupid because I suck at it.
undeadlemur
Tons of videos for help out there!
CrappleJack
fucking esports...
UncleSlam123
Esports are great. Fuck regular boring sports
Flamboyatron
The only thing I dislike about eSports is the players and commentators use their handles. Otherwise, I can appreciate them for what they are
Flamboyatron
I say this as someone who likes regular sports. Let people enjoy things. LCS was on at BWW the other day and I thought that was pretty cool.
saysomethingcool
You're never gonna guess how I feel about professional sports...
EndersdoyouthinkthisisafuckingGame
The 5x world champ who lost because of this shot(and the one that came after) makes $1m/yr and drives a McLaren. Disc golf is legit.
marcjulien16
Right? Hahaha
Override9636
That $1 Million/year is just sponsorships. He'll make even more with tournament winnings.
stabthecrab
Best free fun around man. I mean after a 30 dollar investment in discs, great game, been playing for 25 years
Ketheres
Or if you are like the asshole kids around here, you'll steal discs while they are in play.
Ketheres
The less asshole kids fish out the ones that got thrown into the river by idiots like me and my friends.
demolitionlover09
“If disc golf is free why did i spend $300 on discs?” Fr though, love me some disc golf.
stabthecrab
Here’s how buying new discs go: 1. Plan on buying one or two new discs. 2. Buy three times what you were planning on buying. 3. No regrets
demolitionlover09
Buying discs during covid be like: Try to buy three discs, end up buying zero cause everything you want is sold out. :(
stabthecrab
Ha. I’m lucky enough to have a store close by
LooseyGooseyBrett
I'd rather watch this instead of football
Melusin
I like any pro sport that doesn't have mandatory commercial breaks
CeterumCenseo
Mandatory commercial breaks are a US thing, the rest of the world doesn't really have that.
lizpterodactyl
waay less head trauma
demolitionlover09
Until you hit your head on a branch looking for your disc in the woods. Ask me how i know.
petrolhead1987
lizpterodactyl
noooooooooo did they have to send search dogs?

Haha, it wasn’t that dramatic. Just a bump on the noggin and maybe a cuss word or two uttered.

And you win the internet today. It was also in obscure sports quarterly.

USDGC Championships were on ESPN2 last year ?♂️
CaptMinion
I watched Cornhole championships on NBCSN the other day. That was actually exciting to watch.
lsybarra
I watched cornhole on another website...
Ondradactyl
Ohh dang! My brother was there. He and his friend are the owners of New Mexico Cornhole.
Jerf89
Last year during quarantine when ESPN actually turned their channel into The Ocho I watched the national cherry pit spitting championship.
CaptMinion
You just reminded me that I watched Stupid Robot Fighting during the beginning of quarantine. That was funny to watch
andBingowashisNameOh
Wait they did this??! That gives me a little hope.
Jerf89
Yeah when things were locked down and no sports they turned either ESPN or ESPN2 into The Ocho for a day and showed that kind of stuff
