Nominations for the fourth annual Women in Golf Awards are now open and will close at midnight on September 30th.
There are nine categories open for nominations for any woman working in a paid for or voluntary role in the golf industry. The awards recognise the contribution of women at every stage of their careers, across the many disciplines in which they work. This includes the newly created Content Creator category which is for any woman creating content about golf that is broadcast, published online, via social media channels or in print.
The full list of awards categories and respective sponsors is:
- Unsung Hero, sponsored by England Golf
- Brand of the Year, sponsored by the BGIA
- International Woman, sponsored by Perry Ellis
- Women’s Initiative, sponsored by PING
- Women in Turfcare, sponsored by BIGGA
- Women PGA Professional or Assistant Professional, sponsored by TGI Golf Partnership
- Women’s Leadership, sponsored by the GCMA
- Rising Star, sponsored by Acushnet
- Content Creator, sponsored by The Loop
All nominations should be made through the website www.womeningolfawards.co.uk
As well as providing reasons for the nominations, nominators are required to provide examples of the impact that the nominee has made in their field. The independent judges assess each nomination based on the quality of the responses and the detail given.
The three finalists in each category will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at Foxhills on November 27th and will qualify for a place at the 2026 Education and Insights Day.
“The continued support of our sponsors year-on-year, and the addition of two new high-profile sponsors in The Loop and Acushnet, shows how serious the industry is about retaining and attracting female talent,” comments Founder of the Awards Nicole Wheatley. “I am proud to be able to provide a platform for these women to shine and meet one another and am already looking forward to seeing the event come together this November.”
For anyone wanting to attend the awards, the ballot for tickets is still open on the website – www.womeningolfawards.co.uk – alongside a waiting list for a small number of paid tickets that will be made available later in the year.
