2024 Women in Golf Awards: Celebrating women in the golf industry
Published:
Nominations are now open for the third annual Women in Golf Awards, where women from all areas of the golf industry will be recognised for their contributions to the sport.
On November 28th, professionals from the golf industry will gather at Foxhills Club & Resort to celebrate the achievements of this year’s Women in Golf Awards winners. Nominations for this esteemed event are now open across eight categories, with submissions closing at midnight on September 30th. These awards honor the contributions of women at every point in their careers and in all areas of the golf industry.
“The Women in Golf Awards unearth incredible stories and introduce us to just some of the remarkable women working across the industry,” says Nicole Wheatley, co-founder of the awards. “If you know a woman who is making a significant impact in the role that they hold, inspires you and others, or deserves acknowledgment for their contribution to golf, then please take the time to nominate her. Creating visibility of women excelling in their fields will encourage more to take up a career in golf. This is important because becoming more diverse will reap benefits for the industry as a whole.”
