Record-Breaking Numbers Expected at 2016 PDGA Women's Global Events
Date Published
The PDGA is thrilled to announce that registration numbers are soaring for the 2016 Women's Global Events (WGE), with an impressive 1,400+ participants from across the globe already signed up. This year's event promises to be one of the largest and most exciting yet, with a record-breaking number of women competing in smaller satellite events held on May 14, 2016.
The WGE is open to female players of all ages and skill levels, with 19 divisions available for registration. The tournament will be held at over 64 locations worldwide, including 17 international sites outside the United States. Finland takes second place in terms of participation numbers, followed closely by Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, Estonia, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
One of the key features of this year's WGE is the fundraising element, with proceeds going towards supporting Right To Play, a global organization that uses sports to educate children and help them overcome adversity. The PDGA has partnered with several sponsors, including Discmania, Throw Pink, KEEN Footwear, Huk Lab, and Innova Champion Discs, to offer prizes for top fundraisers.
To encourage registration, the PDGA is hosting a sweepstakes competition for Tournament Directors who meet certain criteria, such as having 5 or more junior players registered or raising over $1,000 in donations. The winners will receive a range of exciting prizes, including a year's membership with the PDGA and a Stiiicks Disc Golf set.
In addition to the fundraising efforts, the WGE is also offering special merchandise for sale, with proceeds going directly towards supporting Right To Play. Players who reserve a "Players Pack" will receive a selection of goodies, including a WGE-branded coozie, stickers, lip balm, and more.
The PDGA would like to extend its gratitude to all the sponsors and supporters who have made this event possible, including SmashboxxTV for their weekly podcasts, Hucker Report for online promotion, and CentralCoastDiscGolf for creating promotional videos.
