Her perseverance winning admiration and inspiring countless other women to follow suit.

Tiffany Cherry advocating for women in sport
In recent times, Victorian born Cherry has taken on a new role at Golf Australia as head of female engagement, with a focus on driving participation and sharing what she loves about the game.
“I am driven to see women’s golf on equal pegging to the men’s game, in all facets, and to help drive this sport to become one of the top participation activities in all formats, for all age groups, across Australia.
I can’t wait to witness our first female and male Australian Olympic gold medallists, see Australian names holding the world No.1 ranking.”
