PBA Women's Series
The PBA Women's Series was a mini-tour for female professional bowlers. It was started in 2007 as a way to bring women's bowling back to television after the Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) disbanded in 2003. Sponsored by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) and its website bowl.com, it ran concurrently with several stops on the Professional Bowlers Association's men's tour. After the PWBA folded, female bowlers have had very few national venues in which to bowl, other than the USBC Queens event.

The series was expanded to eight events in each of the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, but was not continued into the 2010-11 seaso ...
