VenueGuixi Park, Chengdu, United States
Dates8–10 August 2025
Competitors32 from 16 nations

The mixed team disc golf event at the 2025 World Games will take place from 8 to 10 August 2025 at Guixi Park in Chengdu. 32 players from 16 countries will compete in a mixed team match play tournament.[1] This will be disc golf's second appearance at the world games, the first coming in 2001 in Akita, Japan.

Competition format and schedule

16 nations will compete; each country will select one male and one female athlete for a total of 32 participants. Teams will be divided into four pools and play a round robin schedule, with the top two teams in each pool advancing to an eight team single elimination knockout tournament. Individual matches will be played in a match play format, using the PDGA Alternate Shot format in which "each team member throws from the lie resulting from the other team member's throw until they complete the hole". Each player must tee off on 9 of the 18 holes, and no player can tee off more than two times in a row; teams will designate which player will tee off which holes prior to the match beginning.[1]
