The Inaugural Women’s Amateur Tour is Underway


For the first time in the NCGA’s 114-year history, there is a Women’s Amateur Tour.


The inaugural points season of the


NCGA’s Women’s Amateur Tour and Senior Women’s Amateur Tour (50 and older) teed off Oct. 1 and will run through Sept. 30, 2016. Players of the Year will be crowned based on a season- long points system tracking 17 Women’s Amateur tournaments, and five Senior Women’s Amateur events. While 2010 NCGA Women’s Amateur Championship winner Emily Childs (left) has since turned pro, she is excited to see the launch of this Tour.

“I had a hard time finding events to play during the college offseason, and during the transition of turning profes- sional,” said Childs, who played at Cal and won a school-record three college events in a single season. “There are so many good women golfers in Northern California that need a consistent tour to play on, just like the men. I think having this tour will bring more women into the sport, especially knowing they could have their own tour to play on.”
