  • Women in golf awards: what are the categories?

You’ve only got a few days left to make your nominations for the fourth annual Women in Golf Awards.

Whether you know an Unsung Hero, a Rising Star, or are inspired by a Content Creator, you need to put forward your names by midnight on September 30.

There are nine categories open for nominations for any woman working in a paid for, or voluntary, role in the golf industry.

The awards recognise the contribution of women at every stage of their careers, across the many disciplines in which they work.

Women in Golf Awards: What are the categories?

· Unsung Hero, sponsored by England Golf

· Brand of the Year, sponsored by the BGIA

· International Woman, sponsored by Perry Ellis

· Women’s Initiative, sponsored by PING

· Women in Turfcare, sponsored by BIGGA

· Women PGA Professional or Assistant Professional, sponsored by TGI Golf Partnership

· Women’s Leadership, sponsored by the GCMA

· Rising Star, sponsored by Acushnet

· Content Creator, sponsored by The Loop

All nominations should be made through the Awards website. As well as providing reasons for the nominations, people are required to provide examples of the impact the nominee has made in their field.

Independent judges will assess each nomination based on the quality of responses and the detail given. Three finalists in each category will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at Foxhills on November 27 and will qualify for a place at the 2026 Education and Insights Day.

Awards founder Nicole Wheatley said: “The continued support of our sponsors year-on-year, and the addition of two new high-profile sponsors in The Loop and Acushnet, shows how serious the industry is about retaining and attracting female talent.

“I am proud to be able to provide a platform for these women to shine and meet one another and am already looking forward to seeing the event come together this November.”

A ballot for tickets to the Awards Night is open on the website, alongside a waiting list for a small number of paid tickets that will be made available later in the year

About the author

Steve Carroll
Steve Carroll

A journalist for more than 25 years, Steve has been immersed in club golf for almost as long.

A former club captain, he has passed the Level 3 Rules of Golf exam with distinction having attended the R&A’s prestigious Tournament Administrators and Referees Seminar.

Steve has officiated at a host of high-profile tournaments, including Open Regional Qualifying, PGA Fourball Championship, English Men’s Senior Amateur, and the North of England Amateur Championship. In 2023, he made his international debut as part of the team that refereed England vs Switzerland U16 girls.

A part of NCG’s Top 100s panel, Steve has a particular love of links golf and is frantically trying to restore his single-figure handicap. He’d like to tell you he floats around 10. The reality is more like 13.

Steve plays at Sandburn Hall, in York, and is a country member at Close House in Newcastle. He has served on various club committees during his time in the game, and is the current Rules Secretary at Sandburn.

Having studied history at Newcastle University, he became a journalist having passed his NCTJ exams at Darlington College of Technology. He began his career working on weekly papers in Newcastle, before joining the York Press in 2001. After five years as a news reporter, he joined the sports desk – specialising in horse racing and snooker – and was Digital Sports Editor when he joined National Club Golfer in 2016.

What’s in Steve’s bag: TaylorMade Stealth 2 driver, 3-wood, and hybrids; Caley 01T irons 4-PW; TaylorMade Hi-Toe wedges, Odyssey 2Ball Microhinge putter.
