AGIF Awards 2025

The Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF) is proud to announce the launch of the AGIF Golf Industry Awards, a landmark initiative that will serve as an annual celebration of excellence, leadership, and innovation within the Asian golf industry.

The Awards have been established to recognise the people and institutions setting benchmarks of achievement and shaping the future of golf in Asia. From individuals whose dedication has advanced the sport, to clubs and institutions raising standards of excellence, and to the new generation of young and women leaders making their mark, the AGIF Awards will spotlight those who are defining progress in every dimension of the industry.

The inaugural AGIF Awards Ceremony will be held with the Gala Dinner on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, at the Sime Darby Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. This prestigious evening will be attended by around 200 guests and dignitaries, bringing together leaders, innovators, and pioneers from across the region to honour those whose contributions have had a lasting impact on the game and the industry.

The inaugural categories are:

• Outstanding Contribution to the Golf Industry (Individual)
• Excellence in Innovation (Institutions / Golf Clubs)
• Rising Star Award (Young Leaders < 40 years)
• Women in Golf Leadership Award (Women Leaders)

By instituting these awards, AGIF reaffirms its mission to promote professionalism, inclusivity, and sustainable growth across the region.
