Women in Golf Awards announces 2024 winners

The Women in Golf Awards announced its 2024 winners last week at Foxhills Golf Club in Surrey.

Now in its third year, the awards celebrated a year of incredible achievements by women in the golf industry.

The awards recognise the work of women across all sectors of the industry, while providing a platform to inspire more women to consider a career in golf.

“Many of the barriers that faced me and my predecessors have been demolished, so now is a great time to start to better understand what our future leaders need,” said awards founder Nicole Wheatley.

“This educational day will work both ways. We want to provide the 24 finalists with valuable leadership training but also find out how they think golf can attract more talented women, like them, to work in the industry.”

The 2024 winners, presented by BBC sports presenter Katherine Downes, are listed below.
