2024 has been an exceptional year for amateur golf, with several standout performances across both men's and women's competitions. Here are the most notable achievements and top contenders for Amateur of the Year:

Nick Dunlap made history as the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since 1991 at The American Express, later winning again as a professional at the Barracuda Championship.

Luke Clanton demonstrated remarkable consistency with four top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour, including two runner-up positions at The RSM Classic and John Deere Classic. He finished the year as Men's Amateur No.1.

Lottie Woad had an exceptional year, winning the Augusta National Women's Amateur with three birdies in the final four holes. She secured the low amateur title at the AIG Women's Open, contributed to GB&I's Curtis Cup victory, and finished as Women's Amateur No.1.

Neal Shipley achieved a rare feat by winning low amateur honors at both the Masters and US Open, becoming only the seventh player in history to do so.

Jasmine Koo dominated the collegiate circuit with multiple victories and finished as the top-ranked AJGA player, while also earning low amateur honors at the Chevron Championship.

While each candidate presents a strong case, Lottie Woad's consistent excellence across multiple prestigious events, culminating in the World No.1 amateur ranking, makes her the standout Amateur of the Year for 2024.

Her exceptional performance at Augusta National, success in professional events, and crucial role in the Curtis Cup victory demonstrate both her skill and competitive spirit. These achievements, combined with her collegiate success and year-end World No.1 ranking, create a compelling case for her selection as Amateur of the Year.
