Kristin Lätt

2019 Season and Second Tour in The United States, First Major Championship In 2019, Lätt decided to compete in even more events in North America, having her most successful year to up until that time. During her tour she won first place in the Canadian Open, and also won the US Women's Disc Golf Championship. The latter win, her very first major title, qualified her to compete against the men in the US Disc Golf Championship later that year. She was the first European to win the US Women's title.

2020 Season

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lätt was relegated to only being able to compete in Europe. During this season she competed in 7 events, winning 5 and placing 2nd in the other two.

2021 Season – All Top Five Finishes

The 2021 World Championships were scheduled to be held in Ogden, Utah in June. In order to travel to the United States due to US requirements related to the COVID pandemic, Europeans needed to quarantine for a minimum of 14 days outside the Schengen area of Europe before they could receive appropriate travel visas. For Lätt and other Estonians wishing to make it for the World Championships, this meant a minimum two week-stay in Croatia, away from family, before getting the opportunity to fly without restrictions to New York City and then on to Salt Lake City and Ogden. She arrived just four days before the competition was to begin and on her first practice day for what was, in essence, her first big tournament of the year (Worlds), she became ill on the course due to a combination of travel fatigue (possibly jet lag) and unusually high temperatures in Utah for that time of year. Given the circumstances she played reasonable well, placing 5th at the World Championships. She then remained in North America for a 5 additional events tournament stretch, finishing 3rd at the Des Moines Challenge and winning the four other events – Clash at the Canyons V, Discraft's CCR Open, Discraft's Great Lakes Open (aka DGLO), and The Preserve Championships. With an exciting signature win over 5-time World Champion Paige Pierce at DGLO, Lätt became one of the professional women favorites for every tournament she entered from that point forward.

2022 Season – World Champion The 2022 season proved her most successful to date. She joined the Disc Golf Pro Tour full time beginning in February. From her first event she built upon the previous season's 6 straight top 5 finishes (among National Tour, Elite Series, Silver Series or Major level events). In her first 8 events she finished no lower than 3rd place, winning the Memorial Championships, the Jonesboro Open, and the Dynamic Discs Open. An elbow injury sidelined Lätt for the middle part of the season, causing her to return to Estonia and nurse her elbow back to health. She even was not able to compete in the two events where the DGPT moved into Europe for the first time, the PCS Sula Open in Norway and the European Open in Finland. She returned to the US for the Ledgestone Open, finishing 3rd. She followed with a win at Des Moines before prepping for the World Championships. By doing so, Lätt became the first mother, the first Estonian, and only the second European to win the title.

2023 Season – back-to-back World Champion, the Grand Slam, and pursuit of more records Lätt began the 2023 pro season winning her first event at the Waco Annual Charity Open, coming back from 4 strokes down with 3 holes to play to win by 1 with a 30-foot wind putt on the final hole. Her historic streak of podium finishes ended at the Open at Austin on March 19, when she placed 5th following a tough final round. Her string of finishing no lower than 3rd place totaled 19 consecutive of the top tier tournaments from July 2021 through March 2023. She then went on to win three of her next five events, pro tour wins at the Music City Open and Blue Ridge Championship, She finished 6th in her next event before returning to Europe for an extended break at the end of April.

Lätt returned to play in the US in June, winning 3 of her next 5 pro tour events – Portland Open, Zoo Town Open, and Des Moines Challenge In a wire-to wire win, she led each round of the World Championships by no fewer than 4 strokes and won the tournament by 6. With that win Lätt became only the tenth woman ever with multiple World Championship titles, the first to successfully defend a World Championship title since Valarie Jenkins 2007–2009, the first woman to capture the first three majors of the year, and only the third woman to win four majors in a row, the first in more than 20 years. At the US Women's Championships in September she became the first female pro open disc golfer to win the Grand Slam of all four Major Tournaments in the same calendar year, winning by 3 strokes. This win was also her fifth consecutive Major win (going back to the 2022 Worlds), making her the first woman to accomplish 5 in a row in over 20 years. Throughout the 2023 singles season, Lätt won 12 of her 19 singles events on the year, placing 2nd four times, and once in 4th, once 5th, and once 6th. At the regular PDGA ratings update on May 14, Kristin Lätt became the first female to reach the 1000 rating. Lätt's record was also the largest final day comeback to victory at any Elite Series or National Tour until bested by Eveliina Salonen at the Kansas City Wide Open in April of 2026. Lätt still holds the record final day comeback at a major. Lätt's other wins in 2024 came at the Krokhol Open, Green Mountain Championships, and her first Throw Pink Women's Disc Golf Championship. Included in this stretch was a dramatic come-from-behind win at the Music City Open. Lätt was trailing Silva Saarinen of Finland by three strokes with two holes to play in the final round. However, she birdied the difficult hole 17 while Saarinen bogeyed, setting up a one-stroke tight race in the eighteenth. The 429’ par-three 18th hole had been birdied by Lätt in round one, but Saarinen had birdied it both previous rounds. However, the wind was markedly different with both players facing a stiff headwind unlike the previous two rounds. Under pressure, Lätt sent her drive to within 10 feet of the pin against the wind while Saarinen could get no closer than a slightly obstructed 35-footer. When Saarinen missed her birdie attempt, Lätt was able to make her short putt to force a playoff. In the first playoff hole Lätt birdied once again and Saarinen could not match it, giving Lätt her 3rd consecutive victory in as many seasons at Music City.

Signs of the end of dominance Unlike the three previous seasons, Lätt did not take a mid-year break in touring this season. This was the first season in PDGA history where the World Championships would be held in Europe. Also, because Worlds was being held at the typical site of the European Open, the European Major of 2025 would be held at the European Disc Golf Festival in her home country of Estonia. So despite a toe injury, she continued touring through the entire European swing. At the first event in Europe, the Ale Open, Kristin faltered in the last two rounds. After a 1000-rated round one she ended up losing a 7-stroke round one lead in the next two rounds to Saarinen who scored her first victory over Lätt, who finished second, one stroke behind. She finished second again at the Preserve Championship in Minnesota before coming in 6th at the US Women's Disc Golf Championships Major. The tour then shifted to Europe for its second European swing, where Lätt lost in a playoff in a windstorm at the European Championships (finishing 2nd). This was the first tournament in recent memory where Lätt lost a lead midway through the final round. She then tied for second place at the PCS Open and finished fifth at the Krokhol Open. At the EDGF in Estonia, Lätt suddenly seemingly had a case of the "yips", where she totally lost confidence in her putting. She carded an uncharacteristic quadruple bogey in round one, then went on a tear over the next round and a half which saw her surge to a 5-stroke lead in front of her home crowd with 8 holes to play. Despite this, the pressure and the putting cost Lätt 7 strokes in those 8 holes, and she finished second. This marked a second straight large lead collapse midway through the final round of a tournament. Two weeks later at the World Championships in Nokia, Finland, Lätt was clearly struggling both physically and mentally – and after three mediocre rounds by her standards, she decided to withdraw from the event. Her withdrawal while tied for 16th place at Worlds marked the first time she had finished outside the top ten since June 2016 (other than one withdrawal due to injury where she was in the top ten at the time).

Hiatus Lätt had announced via Instagram following her and her husband's trip to China to represent Estonia at the World Games, that her goal was to rest, relax, and heal and hopefully be back in the states for the Throw Pink Women's Disc Golf Championships and the DGPT Championship. Later in the fall season, Lätt reversed course. On her Instagram account she posted on September 14, that she would not be returning to the tour in 2025, and that she would not be touring in 2026, either. She left open other possibilities, including remaining active in the local community and organizing events. She also cited that her 2025 tour had been something she had been struggling with internally for some time. She termed it “losing this chapter and stepping into the next…”
