By utilizing innovative yardage-based divisions instead of the traditional age-based format, the tour focused on developing tournament experience at the player\u2019s pace. The 2022 season will feature over 138 tournaments in 12+ states and with over 1,000 members, the PKBGT is the largest girl\u2019s 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<hr \/>\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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bermuda Run, NC &#8211; The\u00a0Peggy Kirk Bell Girls\u2019 Golf Tour traveled to Bermuda Run Country Club in Bermuda Run, NC for the opening round of the 15th PKBGT Invitational.\u00a0 Following a frost delay, play began at 10:00 am and players arrived early and eager to get their PKBGT Invitational underway.
