The judging panel will select three finalists in each category who will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at Foxhills on November 28, where the winners will be announced.
“The Women in Golf Awards unearth incredible stories and introduce us to just some of the remarkable women working across the industry,” said Nicole Wheatley, co-founder of the awards. “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.”
The ballot for free tickets also remains open through www.womeningolfawards.co.uk, with a limited number of heavily subsidised tickets available to purchase from October.
