The votes are in.
Seventy-eight of you took the time to recognise the people, clubs and events that made 2025 what it was. That matters. These awards only mean something because the community chooses them.
There were strong fields across every category. Some were tight. One or two were decisive. All were earned.
Here are your 2025 EDGA Award winners.

Final thoughts
Awards are not the sport.
But they do remind us who carried it forward.
Players representing GB. Volunteers loading vans. TDs solving problems. Clubs building infrastructure. Juniors stepping up. Masters still competing. Communities growing.
2025 was not quiet. It was not perfect. It was active.
Congratulations to every winner. And to every nominee.
Now we move forward.
Let’s see what 2026 brings.
