It’s that time of year again – playoff season! The 2024 Green Mountain Championship marked the beginning of a series of crucial tournaments for disc golfers. As Disc Golf Pro Tour Playoff events, the GMC and MVP Open offer 150 Pro Tour points to the winners. These points contribute to the overall point total for all touring athletes, resulting in significant changes in the World Standings as the season comes to a close. Team Innova had an impressive showing at the GMC, with five FPO athletes placing in the top 10 and leading in several key statistics. Let’s take a closer look at some of the top Innova storylines from the event.

Ohn Scoggins had a standout performance in the third round, shooting an impressive -9 with 10 birdies. This propelled her to a 3rd place finish overall, with an average rating of 1001 – higher than many winning ratings on the Tour this year.
