The tour began as a simple concept: create more effective competitive playing opportunities for girls. By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the tour focused on developing tournament experience at the player’s pace. The 2022-23 season will feature over 110 tournaments in 10+ states on the East Coast, and with over 1,500 members, the PKBGT is the largest girl’s only tour in the country.
