Gannon Buhr is a professional disc golfer who won his first major at the age of 17 in 2022, becoming the second youngest player to win a major and the youngest to win the United States Disc Golf Championship.[1][2][3] Buhr won his second major by winning the 2024 European Open in Tampere, Finland.[4] In February 2023, Buhr was sued by sponsor Prodigy Discs for attempted early termination of his endorsement contract.[5] The lawsuit was dropped after Buhr agreed to complete his contract, which extended through the rest of 2023.[6] In January 2024, Buhr signed a three-year deal with Discmania.[7]
