The 2025 season is in the rearview…and that means it’s time to recognize our local talents up for Golfer of the Year. Coaches were given the opportunity to nominate up to three golfers per team. BLITZ nominated teams who didn’t respond based on region/state results. In total, there are 18 Golfer of the Year Nominees.

NEXT: We will narrow down the list to a finalist pool, with the opportunity for the public to vote on the last finalist prior to the Golfer of the Year final vote by our internal voting panel.
