Our fourth team to announce is our touring players, the Grand Team! This team comprises the Latitude 64 team players who play disc golf full-time but have not won the PDGA World Championships (see our team structure explanation article for more info). This year, Latitude 64 looks forward to focusing on our full-time professionals and helping them succeed on and off the course.
**Spoilers** There are no new Grand Team players for 2024. **Spoilers**
As we increase our focus on supporting and promoting our existing team, we look forward to building a sustainable system to help grow this team in future seasons.
While we do not have any new team players, please read further to learn more about each of our returning Grand Team players.
Grand Team
JohnE McCray
JohnE is often times referred to as the ageless wonder. JohnE has now won multiple Age-protected Majors and is looking to play as much on the Disc Golf Pro Tour as possible next season while also taking in the Disc Golf Masters Tour.
Favorite Disc: Saint Pro
2024 Goals: To play MPO on the DGPT circuit and MP50 on the DGMT circuit. I want to compete in both the Open and Masters Worlds. I want to defend all the titles I won in 2023. I want to host more clinics and keep teaching about Disc Golf.
Tournament Goals: The Las Vegas Challenge because it’s my birthday week… also the Masters Worlds because it’s in Emporia, and that was my first World title back in 2016.
One Cool Thing: I was raised in a military family. We moved every four years. I’ve lived all over the United States and in other countries as well. I have four older siblings and one younger sibling. I grew up playing sports… any kind of sport was my happy place, but my favorite sport growing up was soccer.
