Over the past few years, women have shattered the glass ceiling in golf, breaking through traditional barriers and establishing their place. The sport has witnessed a surge in female participation, both at the amateur and professional level. Thanks to increased media coverage and awareness, golf is no longer perceived as an exclusive domain for some, but rather a sport that welcomes and encourages women and girls.
2023 signifies a milestone year for women’s representation in golf. Tournaments now feature dedicated women’s divisions, with an extensive calendar of prestigious events solely focused on female golfers. Major championships such as the LPGA Tour, Women’s PGA Championship, captivating audiences worldwide.
The emergence of female golfers has played a vital role in inspiring a new generation of women to pursue golf. In 2023, icons like Australian Minjee Lee and Hannah Green (both born in Perth WA), to name only two Australian golfing athletes, continue to captivate fans with their exceptional prowess and dedication to the sport. These role models serve as beacons of inspiration, proving that women can compete at the highest level and achieve greatness in golf.
Equality and Inclusivity
The golfing community has made significant strides towards achieving gender equality and inclusivity. Golf clubs and organizations have implemented initiatives to bridge the gender gap, offering equal opportunities and resources for women golfers. Gender-neutral tees and mixed-gender events have become more common.
With our dedicated focus on women’s golf practice, playing and networking, our Emajin Golf initiative will help support the future of our women members to get out onto the golf course, make new networking links, all the while paving the way for further growth and success in their own path.
