The PGA is supporting Women and Girls Golf Week, an online and digital campaign aimed at celebrating female successes on and off the course.
The campaign, which runs from 1st August to 7th August, 2022, coincides with the staging of the AIG Women’s Open, held this year at Muirfield in Scotland, where the focus of the world’s media attention is on the female game.
Each day of the campaign focuses on a different theme to showcase the wide variety of ways women and girls of all ages can get into golf.
This year’s campaign themes are:
Monday 1 August: Careers - Introducing inspiring women who are blazing a trail in the golf industry.
It is careers day in Women and Girls Golf week and our PGA Captain has an incredible employment story 🏌️♀️ #WhyIGolf

Friday 5 August: Role Models - Taking a leaf from the many women who inspire by their actions not only at the top of the game, but also at grassroots level.
