The Women in Golf Awards has announced a full roster of partners for its fifth annual event with organisations from all across the industry uniting to support this celebration of women working in golf.
“Once again we’re both delighted and humbled by the support that the golf industry continues to show for the awards,” commented Women in Golf Awards founder, Nicole Wheatley. “What started as an attempt to find a place for women to connect and celebrate achievement has transformed into an industry wide movement for change.
“The support of our partners not only enables us to run the event, it also allows us to offer free spaces for women under 30 to attend, it funds free education sessions to help women progress their careers and it enables us to support industry changing research such as our Fairways Project with 59 Club. This only happens because of the help of our partners, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their continued support.”
The 2026 awards are:
- Unsung Hero, sponsored by England Golf

Additional support for the awards comes from education partner Bernhard Academy, project delivery partner 59 Club, event partner Belton Woods and Bursary sponsor The Kate & Justin Rose Foundation.
The 2026 awards will be held at Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort on Friday, 27 November. Alongside the awards ceremony itself, the event will feature education sessions and the opportunity for networking on the golf course. With an increased capacity, organisers are expecting over 200 attendees with women and men from across the industry congregating to celebrate women in the industry.
“To have support from every sector of the industry is what gives me most optimism for the impact that our work can help inspire,” concluded Nicole. “With governing bodies across the industry, manufacturers who are leading the way in equitable practices and businesses who are determined to throw their weight behind our movement for change, the future is really bright. With the continued support of our partners, we’re very excited for this event and look forward to continuing to promote women across the industry for years to come.”
