PDGA Women’s Global Event Returns May 9 | Professional Disc Golf Association

The world's largest women's disc golf tournament is just around the corner, and it's a celebration of female camaraderie and competition. The PDGA Women's Global Event returns to courses on May 9, 2020, bringing together women from all over the globe for an unforgettable experience. This biennial tournament has been steadily growing in popularity since its inception, with participation records shattered each time.

According to Elaine King, Chair of the PDGA Women's Committee and Disc Golf Hall of Fame Member, the number of women playing disc golf is reaching a critical mass. "Women are now choosing to play disc golf, both with and without a significant other by their side," she notes. The PDGA has seen an increase in women-only events and series, further solidifying its commitment to growing the female community.

The WGE event is not just about competing; it's about participation and community building. As King explains, "The focus is on participation and growing the community. Competition is celebrated and serves to inspire the female participants, but the day is about women and girls around the globe playing simultaneously." The event has a unique global leaderboard where players can compete against one another from different countries.

This year's WGE promises to be even bigger than previous years, with 45 tournaments already registered across 20-plus countries. The PDGA aims to break its participation records once again, hoping for over 3,000 women to participate in more than 150 tournaments worldwide. To support this goal, the PDGA has made available a special WGE Players' Pack for tournament directors, which includes branded discs, stickers, and other merchandise.

For individual players, the Official PDGA Store offers a range of WGE-branded items, including shirts, baskets, and accessories. These can be preordered or purchased on April 15, 2020. The event's organizers encourage all women to join in and experience the joy of disc golf with their global community.

With only two and a half months left until the big day, it's time for women worldwide to gear up and get ready to take on the competition. Join the PDGA Women's Global Event and be part of this incredible celebration of female empowerment through disc golf.
