NICK DOUGHERTY TO MEET GRASSROOTS GOLF HEROES AT BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

The Golf Foundation is calling on the golfing world to nominate those who deserve recognition in 2025 and earn the chance to meet its inspirational President, Nick Dougherty. The annual President’s Awards will be hosted by Dougherty at the BMW PGA Championship and celebrate golf clubs, coaches, volunteers and juniors who have made a difference to the game – and nominations are being welcomed up until 23rd July this year.

The popular President’s Awards return to Wentworth Club in September once again, being hosted in the clubhouse on the evening of the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am thanks to the support of the DP World Tour. There, Golf Foundation President Nick Dougherty will hand out awards and celebrate the impact being had by the Golf Foundation and by individuals and groups who are carrying out incredible work across the game.

This year’s awards come as part of a week where the Golf Foundation continues to grow its relationship with BMW and the DP World Tour. The Golf Foundation is making its debut as the nominated charity of the event, as well as once again working with BMW to raise money through the Eagles For Education initiative.  In addition, the three winners of its Unleash Your Drive Competition will play in the Pro Am.

The President’s Awards is always a highlight in the Golf Foundation’s calendar, and this year it is sure to be bigger than ever before.

“There have been so many amazing stories of impact this year,” Dougherty said after last year’s event. “And the significance of celebrating these incredible people is that they’re choosing to use their time to make a difference, but also showcasing exactly what we’re about which is using this great game of ours as a vehicle to make lives better for children. We’ve had a great time here celebrating the people that are doing just that, helping to express the message we are trying to tell. We’ve seen huge growth in exposure and some great results over the last year, and these are the people at the forefront of doing just that.”
