Amateur: WGE players packs are valued at $88 and will be guaranteed to amateurs who register by 4/13. If you register after 4/13, you will still get a players pack, (just not guaranteed to be the WGE players pack). To keep entry fees low and provide a great tournament experience, this will be a true amateur event with trophies for Am & Junior top winners. There will be no Am merch payout.

Trophies for all division champions! Any players signing up in NEW divisions after 4/15/24 will receive their trophy after the event. We have to pre-order trophies 4 weeks out.

The PDGA has waived all non-member and player fees for all WGE divisions at this global event so that it is more accessible for new players.

So what's a True Amateur event?!

The true spirit of organized amateur athletics is competing in a sport purely for the love of that sport and the act of competition itself. “True Amateur” is the designation used by the Professional Disc Golf Association in reference to those amateur events, or the amateur portion of an event, which promote that true spirit of amateur athletics by presenting only trophies to the top finishers of the tournament rather than a payout in merchandise. Instead, all players in the event receive equal value through their tournament experience due to the tournament amenities that are provided.

Now we know what True Amateur means, but what makes this a Women's Global Event?

Women from all around the world play two rounds of disc golf at their local participating PDGA Women's Global Event. Scores from the first two rounds of each participating tournament are submitted by the individual tournament directors and rated by the PDGA. These round ratings are totaled and averaged to determine the player's "Global Score." For the rounds to qualify, the event must include two rounds and have at least three ratings propagators playing on the same course layout each round for ratings to be calculated as accurately as possible. The global results are updated throughout the day to determine our PDGA Women’s Global Event Champions and the winner in each division will receive a memorable trophy.

All in all, this event is designed to be as welcoming and accessible as possible to all women who love or would like to try out competitive disc golf! It is a continuation of our effort to grow the sport and especially grow it for women of all ages so anyone feels welcomed out on their local course or tournament play.
