In accordance with tradition since their creation in 2015, the Golf Trophies jury was welcomed last Tuesday by the Golf de Saint-Cloud to elect the nominees in the different categories selected this year.

This committee of 17 experts will present 10 Trophies during the ceremony on December 3 at the Pavillon d'Armenonville. The Golf Trophies will be broadcast live on Golf + (Canal + Group), always with the aim of promoting the commitment of all the players in French golf.

For each edition, the Golf Trophies bring together more and more professionals and enthusiasts of the little white ball. This year, more than 300 people are expected to discover who will succeed Céline Boutier and Alexander Lévy, respectively elected Golfers and Golfers of the Year 2017.

The Trophies operate on a simple principle: the jury elects 4 nominees in each category, from which they will choose a final winner who will be revealed during the ceremony.

Two Trophies will be awarded to their winner without any other nominees: the now classic Special Jury Prize, as well as a new Handigolf Trophy, created in collaboration with the Handigolf Commission of the French Golf Federation.

Finally, 3 Trophies will be open to public votes from November 13:

  • The 2018 Callaway Coup of the Year Trophy (2/3 of public votes + 1/3 of jury votes)
  • The Golf + Trophy of the Golfeuse of the year 2018 (1/3 of public votes + 2/3 of jury votes)
  • The Golf + Golf Golfer Trophy of the year 2018 (1/3 of public votes + 2/3 of jury votes).
