A panel of judges will select three finalists in each category who will be invited to attend the awards ceremony on November 28, where the winners will be announced.

“The Women in Golf Awards have uncovered great stories and introduced us to some of the amazing women working across the industry,” said Nicole Wheatley, founder of the awards. “If you know a woman who has a great role in the role she plays, who inspires you and others, or who deserves to be thanked for her role in the game of golf, please take the time to nominate her.

“Creating the visibility of women who are doing well in their fields will encourage more people to enter the golf profession. This is important because diversity will benefit the industry as a whole.”

Voting for free tickets is also always open via www.womeningolfawards.co.uk, with a limited number of heavily sponsored tickets available to buy from October.
