The PDGA National Tour represents the top tier of professional disc golf events and was established in 2003 as a means of showcasing the sport of disc golf to the general public.

Competitors in these series events earned points based upon their place of finish, with the results of their top four finishes used to qualify for the Drive for the Championship, presented by Woodchuck Cider.
