By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the tour focused on developing tournament experience at the player&#8217;s pace. The 2020-21 season will feature over 110 tournaments in 10 states on the East Coast, and with over 1,000 members, the PKBGT is the largest girl&#8217;s only tour in the country.\u00a0 Learn more about the PKBGT at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\/\">http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For complete coverage of the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls&#8217; Golf Tour, follow the PKBGT on social media @PKBGirlsTour (Twitter), facebook.com\/girlsgolftour (Facebook), @pkbgirlstour (Instagram), or visit our website at <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pkbgt.org\">www.pkbgt.org<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greensboro, NC- The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls&#8217; Golf Tour returns to the Palmetto State for the annual Kiawah Resort Girls Classic hosted at Oak Point Golf Course.
