Nominations can be made until midnight on 30 September at www.womeningolfawards.co.uk. As well as providing reasons for the nominations, nominators are asked to provide examples of the impact the nominee has made in their field.

The jury will select three finalists in each category who will be invited to the awards ceremony on November 28th at Foxhills, where the winners will be announced.

“The Women in Golf Awards bring incredible stories to light and introduce us to some of the remarkable women working in the industry,” said Nicole Wheatley, co-founder of the awards. “If you know of a woman who has made a significant impact in her role, inspires you and others, or deserves recognition for her contribution to golf, please take the time to nominate her.

“If we highlight women who excel in their field, we will convince more to pursue a career in golf. This is important because greater diversity will benefit the entire industry.”

Voting for free tickets is still open via www.womeningolfawards.co.uk and a limited number of heavily subsidised tickets will be available to purchase from October.
