The finalists for the 2026 Women in Golf Awards have been announced, recognising the individuals, brands and initiatives making a positive impact across the golf industry.
The winners will be revealed at the fifth annual awards ceremony at Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort in Lincolnshire on 27 November.
Nicole Wheatley, Founder of the Women in Golf Awards, said: “Every nomination is a chance to shine a light on the women and organisations making a real difference in golf. Thank you to everyone who took the time to put them in the spotlight.
\u201cThe sheer quality and variety of nominations have been overwhelming and have given our judges some incredibly tough choices. We’ve made a point of acknowledging every nominee because recognition matters far beyond the awards themselves. If we want to keep talent in golf, we need people to know that their contribution is seen and valued.”
