It’s just so much easier in an individual sport to highlight individuals, but it would be cool to see more of it in ultimate. Gatekeeper this year started doing a thing where during the round they have like 15 seconds from each of the players talking to the camera, promoting something, thanking someone, whatever. It’d be great to see similar featurettes in more ultimate coverage. As a new viewer of disc golf, a year ago I didn’t know who Paul McBeth was, but now almost all top 25 players are familiar to me. It helps you get to know the competitors more.

One thing I like about the Jomez Pro tournament coverage is the segment they do at the beginning of each round focusing on one of the players. How is it similar? How is it different? And why are disc golfers better at getting fans than ultimate players? What is holding back fandom in ultimate and why is disc golf able to grow its fan base? Ambjr (Subscriber) They took to our Discord server earlier this year to debate the topic of fandom in disc golf and ultimate.
Ultiworld subscribers and staff have taken notice of the big difference between the fan base for disc golf as opposed to ultimate.
That is visibility and marketability that ultimate can only dream of right now and could have profound and increasingly divergent impacts on fandom of the two sports. Major tours and events have lucrative media and sponsorship deals that are turning players into minor celebrities and enhancing the spectator experience both on the ground and watching from home. New eyeballs are streaming to the sport, allowing more and more top professionals to sign six, seven, even eight-figure deals with disc manufacturers on the promise that they’ll be able to turn fans into loyal customers. What follows is a lightly edited version of a recent internal Discord Debate sparked by The Deep Look subscriber bonus segment on fandom.Īs disc golf continues to grow in size and popularity, the fan base grows as well. Now, we’ve decided to pull back the curtain on some of those debates as a bonus for all subscribers.
