Should be an exciting final day at the PKBGT Invitational!
The culmination of a year’s worth of tournaments has finally brought us to the PKB’s most prestigious event of the year–the 2016 Invitational.
The field for this year’s event features players from 13 different states, making it one of the most diverse fields the PKBGT has ever seen for a single tournament. Players have earned their spot into the Invitational by finishing at the top of the PKBGT Orders of Merit, winning their state championship, playing in Invitational qualifiers, or earning an at-large bid. The Grandover Resort West course will be played at 6,200 yards and is expected to be an exciting test for even the best PKBGT juniors.
