The Palmetto Girls Classic at Aberdeen Country Club in Longs, South Carolina, is part of the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour (PKBGT) National Series, offering competition across the Bell National, Prep Preview, and Futures National divisions. Set along the Grand Strand, Aberdeen’s tree-lined fairways and Scottish-inspired layout create a welcoming yet competitive test for players early in the season.
The two-round event provides opportunities for junior golfers to earn recognition on national ranking platforms, while division champions secure invitations to the PKBGT National Tournament of Champions. The Bell National winner also advances to the Spring Bell Invitational, making the Palmetto Girls Classic an important stop for players looking to build momentum heading into the spring schedule.
The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour (PKBGT), an initiative of the non-profit Girls Golf of America, is the nation’s only LPGA Foundation Approved girls-only tour. Dedicated to growing participation and opportunity in junior girls golf, the PKBGT provides a structured Progression Pathway that allows players to develop at their own pace through yardage-based divisions rather than age-based groupings. The tour hosts more than 110 events annually across national and regional circuits, offering affordable, high-quality competition for girls ages 9–19. With over 1,400 alumnae advancing to collegiate programs and many competing on the LPGA and Epson Tours, the PKBGT continues to set the standard for player development, exposure, and community in junior girls golf.
