Nominations are now open for the 2025 Women in Golf Awards, the UK’s annual celebration of the exceptional contributions women make to the golf industry. In addition to honouring achievements across the UK, the Awards feature an International Woman Award, proudly sponsored for the third consecutive year by Perry Ellis International.
The International Woman Award recognises an outstanding woman working outside of the UK who has made a significant impact on the golf industry in which she works. Past recipients include Karen Proctor, former Secretary of the AGIF and Regional Sales Director APAC at Textron; Karen Lunn, CEO of the WPGA of Australia; and Elisa Gaudet, founder of Women’s Golf Day.

Nominations are welcomed from all disciplines within the golf industry and should detail both the nominee’s achievements over the past year and throughout their career. Judges are seeking women who display strong leadership, influence within their field, and a commitment to using their platform to elevate other women in golf.
“It is incredibly important that we look beyond our borders to learn from the successful women working in golf outside of the UK,” said Nicole Wheatley, founder of the Women in Golf Awards. “The previous winners are incredible women who have enjoyed fantastic careers and have certainly inspired me. It has been a privilege to share their stories, and I am looking forward to learning about this year’s nominees.”
The winners of this year’s Women in Golf Awards will be announced at a special ceremony on November 27, 2025, at Foxhills, Surrey, where industry professionals – women and men – will gather to celebrate their achievements.
Nominations are open until midnight on September 30, 2025, and can be submitted online at www.womeningolfawards.co.uk.
