🇺🇲 Ohn Scoggins: A Legend at 44
Ohn Scoggins has long been revered as one of the best putters in the world, but this year she took her legacy to an entirely new level. At age 44, she became the first player ever to win both the PDGA World Championship (Open Division) and the PDGA Masters World Championship (40+) in the same year. Originally from Laos and now based in Los Angeles with her husband, Justin, Ohn is proof that peak performance doesn’t come with an expiration date.
🇫🇮 Iida Lehtomäki: The Teenage Sensation
At just 15 years old, Finland’s Iida Lehtomäki stunned the disc golf world when she nearly pushed Ohn Scoggins into a playoff for the World Championship title in Nokia, Finland. Relatively unknown before this season, Iida burst onto the international stage with poise beyond her years, ultimately finishing second in a matchup that felt like a symbolic passing of the torch — a 15-year-old challenger versus a 44-year-old legend. Still balancing high school with her competitive schedule, Iida epitomizes the new wave of talent reshaping disc golf at lightning speed.

Silva embodies the technical mastery and quiet intensity that has made Finnish disc golf so dominant on the global stage.
