Corey Ellis

Corey Ellis began playing disc golf at the early age of 5 and became obsessed with the growing sport in his teenage years. Providing a method of stress relief and time to bond with his father, disc golf played a major role in the development of his friendly, open-minded personality. In 2017, he became the highest rated player in West Virginia. He knew then that he wanted to compete professionally beyond local tournaments, so the real work began. He could be found putting on his lunch breaks while he was working as a server, and spending his evenings pouring over old footage of past champions to learn from their example. While he had previously placed well in multiple A tier and National Tour events, 2021 was a turning point in his career. The season began with his first A tier win at The Dogwood Crosstown Classic, the quickly followed by a second at the River City Open. After coming in 18th at The World Championships and 3rd at DGLO, Corey had finally come into the spotlight for his amazingly smooth and powerful standstill shots. However, his most incredible feat was achieving the highest ever single-season C1x putting percentage at an astounding 93.2%. Not to mention an impressive 42% in the C2 category as well. As the #1 putter in the world, Corey is confident that he will be a dangerous competitor in seasons to come.

Shaffer Sports Management became Corey Ellis’ agent in 2022.
