RICHMOND, BC (PGA of British Columbia) - The PGA of BC Women's Championship is open to all female members within the Association. The event has been contested mostly as a 36-hole stroke-play event over the years since its 1994 debut, with some championships determined via the results of women competing in the PGA of BC Championship, but since 2018 has been determined by stableford scoring over 36 holes.
The PGA of British Columbia conducts multiple championship tournaments each season, providing an opportunity for our Golf Professionals to compete against their colleagues in a variety of settings and formats. These championships have provided countless memorable moments and produced many deserving champions over the years, and we are proud to recognize their accomplishments.
