About this tournament
This event was built on the idea of growing the sport of disc golf in the women's divisions with a strong desire to create something special that women of all abilities can participate in.
This will be the 6th edition of the Women's Global Event (established in 2012).
This biennial event (occurs every 2 years) continues to break records as the largest PDGA event for a single demographic within the sport of disc golf. In 2021 there were 99 registered tournaments, with a combined turnout of 3224 women competing in 23 different PDGA divisions. We can break that record again in 2022!
On the WGE weekend, women from all around the world will play two rounds of disc golf at their local participating PDGA Women's Global Event. Scores from both rounds of each participating tournament will be submitted, totaled, and averaged to determine the player's "Global Score." The global results will be updated throughout the day to determine our PDGA Women’s Global Event Champions and the winner in each division will receive a memorable trophy.

Please note the below descriptions are guidelines ONLY. Anyone is welcome in the division they feel fits them best regardless of their age, ability, or experience. Age protected divisions such as junior or masters are optional, meaning you are not required to play in that division if you feel a different division better suits your needs. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about divisions!
Novice (FA4) $30:
This division is for brand new players who have not competed before. It is recommended you sign up for this division if you have little to no experience playing disc golf. We will offer instruction to all players who wish to attend a morning-of-event instruction and rules-of-disc golf briefing. This is meant to introduce you to the sport, get a set of discs in your possession, and provide you with a low-pressure, female-dominated environment in which to try the sport.
Beginner (FA3) $35:
This division is intended for women who are fairly new to the sport but who have played more than a handful of times. Typically players in this division will throw anywhere from 50 to 100 feet with their drives and can be quite sporadic with their putting accuracy. This is meant to introduce you to a more competitive setting within the sport of disc golf while still engaging in a fun and leisurely round.
Intermediate & Age-Protected (FA2) $35:
This division is for more experienced players who are looking to improve on their competitive success. Attendance at the pre-tournament clinic and briefing aren’t necessary but welcomed with open arms. There’s no such thing as too much practice, and maybe you’ll hear something you haven’t before. Players in this division can typically throw their drives 100-200 feet off the tee, and will hit 4-6 putts out of 10 from 20 feet, demonstrating a degree of consistency with their putting.
Advanced (FA1) $35:
If you’re playing Advanced, you’ve had some tournament experience and are eager to further develop your game and level of competition. There is a pronounced increase in driving and putting consistency when compared to the FA2 division. Players can typically drive 200+ feet and will make 6+/10 putts from 20 feet.
Pro (FPO) $35:
If you’re playing pro, you already know the drill. You might not even be reading these descriptions by now! Players in this division can consistently drive 250+ feet and will make upwards of 8/10 of their putts from 20 feet. Players in this division will have the option to purchase the full WGE players pack in addition to other goodies when they register, otherwise, as the name suggests, they’re playing for their payout.
