FootGolf USA urges players to check AFGL calendar for updates

FootGolf USA told players to keep checking the AFGL Calendar for the latest schedule updates, saying new tournaments are still being added in 2026. The short Facebook post put the sport’s summer slate on notice: the official calendar is the place to confirm what is really on the schedule before booking travel or paying an entry fee.

That matters because the AFGL calendar is not just a list of tee times. FootGolf USA says AFGL Tour and U.S. Amateur Tour events are combined in one calendar, and the ranking structure tied to those stops carries real weight. An AFGL schedule listing assigns 500 points to the AFGL Tour Ranking, 250 points to the Region 1 North American Tour Ranking and 250 points to the FIFG World Tour Ranking, with Team USA implications attached to those events. A date change or a newly added stop can shift who chases points, who skips a weekend, and which players can fit a sanctioned event into a crowded late-summer run.

The warning is especially relevant after State Games of Michigan moved its FootGolf event. On June 21, 2026, the organization said the tournament date had been changed to August 8, 2026, at Royal Scot Golf & Bowl in Lansing, Michigan. That kind of adjustment is exactly why FootGolf USA is pushing players back to the central calendar rather than leaving them to chase older versions of schedules through club posts or informal group messages.

The timing also fits the broader shape of the sport in the United States. FootGolf USA says the American FootGolf League was founded on November 19, 2011, and the first FootGolf tournament in the country was played on July 22, 2012, at Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. More than a decade later, the same ecosystem now stretches from domestic ranking events to Team USA coverage for the FIFG FootGolf World Cup Acapulco 2026, making schedule accuracy part of the competitive picture rather than a simple planning detail.

For players in that pipeline, the message is straightforward: verify the AFGL calendar often, because the difference between a ranking start, a missed stop and a changed venue can come down to the most recent update.
