Lottie Woad shortlisted for top honour at 2026 England Golf Awards

Lottie Woad has been shortlisted for the Performance of the Year Award at the 2026 England Golf Awards, marking another milestone in what has been an extraordinary season for one of the world’s most accomplished young golfers.

The reigning 2025 winner of this award, Woad has continued her rapid ascent, delivering world class performances across professional, amateur and collegiate golf.

Ranked the World No. 1 Amateur for much of the season, Woad showcased exceptional consistency and competitive maturity throughout the year.

Her campaign was defined by two landmark victories that captured global attention. She first claimed the Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour while still an amateur, before producing a stunning triumph at the Scottish Open on the LPGA Tour in her debut event as a professional — an achievement that immediately underlined her readiness for the highest level of the game.

Woad also impressed on the major championship stage, finishing a superb 3rd at the Evian Championship as an amateur, demonstrating her ability to contend against the world’s best.

Her season included further standout performances, including a top 32 finish at the US Women’s Open, one of the most demanding tests in women’s golf.

Representing her teams with distinction, Lottie competed for the Rest of the World in the Arnold Palmer Cup, helped Great Britain & Ireland secure victory in the Vagliano Trophy, and represented Europe in the Patsy Hankins Trophy.

Her shortlist recognition reflects a season of exceptional achievement and global impact.
