2026 Team Willz Designz
Meet the 2026 Team!
Show the Sport. Grow the Sport.
Thanks to all who applied. It was difficult to finalize sponsorship decisions. I originally planned for 5 but ended up expanding to 9 sponsorships!
The 2026 team consists of disc golfers from across the country:
Former Sponsored Players - 3 individuals (Austin Gehrke, Wyatt Orender & Jonas Zupanic) were sponsored on the inaugural team in 2024. I was excited to see multiple applications from the original team of sponsored players. Austin, Wyatt and Jonas have been great brand ambassadors for me. Wyatt helped me get involved to help the Kansas State Disc Golf team raise funding for the team with logos their club and their tournaments
Collegiate Disc Golfers - 2 individuals (Ethan Lehman - Ferris State University, Jackson Crouse - University of Michigan) are members of college disc golf teams and it’s great to have individuals in the college disc golf scene represent my brand. Ethan helped grow the sport by starting a club for disc golf at his high school. Jackson helps grow the sport by posting disc golf videos to his YouTube channel.
Top Follower | Fan - Aiden was an early follower of my Instagram account and has already been a big supporter of my brand by being a fan of many of the designs I have created
US Military - Thomas Dorfner serves in the US Military and helps show the sport by creating awesome disc golf dyes. The 2024 team included a military veteran and I'm glad this tradition is continuing of sponsoring either a veteran or active service member
Juniors - This is the first year I have had anyone apply for Junior sponsorships. This year, I am sponsoring Skyler Huskey and Harvey Hauge and both have big goals to keep growing their disc golf skills!
