“The Women in Golf Awards unearth incredible stories and introduce us to just some of the remarkable women working across the industry,” said co-founder Nicole Wheatley.

“If you know a woman who is making a significant impact in the role that they hold, inspires you and others, or deserves acknowledgment for their contribution to golf then please take the time to nominate her.

“Creating visibility of women excelling in their fields will encourage more to take up a career in golf. This is important because becoming more diverse will reap benefits for the industry as a whole.”

You can make your nominations at womeningolfawards.co.uk until midnight on September 30.

As well as providing reasons for the nominations, you will also be asked to provide examples of the impact their nominee has made in their field.

The judging panel will select three finalists in each category, who will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at the prestigious Surrey resort.

A ballot for free tickets remains open at the awards website and a limited number of heavily subsidised tickets will be available to buy from October.
