The Choice of Champions in 2020

Innova is honored to support athletes and brand ambassadors around the world. Our athletes represent disc golf’s most talented and promising competitors. Their goals are primarily competition-related, ranging from success at the junior levels, up to the full-time touring professional.

Innova Team Levels

Innova Hall of Fame members are the legendary men and women who paved the way for Innova’s success. They each played a significant role in shaping the Innova brand both on the course and in their local communities.

Star and Champion teams feature our highest-rated and most accomplished competitors. Members typically compete in 20+ events each year with emphasis on major championships and the professional tour.

“Innova has had my back since they first sponsored me in 2014. Their continued support has allowed me to pursue my dreams and grow as a disc golfer.” – Calvin Heimburg, Star Team

Ohn Scoggins, Crew Team

Crew Team members are road warriors as well, working relentlessly on their games in pursuit of reaching the elite, competitive ranks.

The Masters team is comprised of disc golf veterans who compete primarily in masters divisions for those 40-years old and above. Our Junior Team is the other end of the age spectrum. Members must be 16 or younger and committed to success in the classroom and on the course.

Our International team is comprised of top athletes from around the world. These team members have proven themselves on and off the course, and maintain a significant, personal commitment to excellence in competitions of all levels.

Our Junior team is comprised of student athletes ages 16 and under. These team members are focused on developing themselves in the classroom, on the disc golf course, and throughout all of the other aspects of their lives.

In addition to our various team members, we support many other Sponsored Athletes who are at various stages of development in their competitive careers, each of whom is dedicated to representing the Innova brand.

Innova Ambassadors

Innova Ambassadors are unique in that they have an extraordinary passion for promotion, particularly at the grassroots level. While many Ambassadors are active competitors, there are no performance-based requirements to maintain Ambassador status. Ambassadors are constantly active behind the scenes in areas such as course design and development, event planning, teaching and instruction, and much more.

Disc Golf World Champions

Innova has maintained a winning tradition since Innova Co-founder, Harold Duvall, captured the company’s first World Championship title in 1982. Together with our sponsored athletes, Innova strives to maintain a standard of excellence in competition that is second to none.
