Juli Inkster was announced Friday by the USGA as the 2022 Bob Jones Award recipient.
The award, considered the USGA's highest honor and presented annually since 1855, is given to persons who exemplify character, respect and sportsmanship in the game of golf and demonstrates the exemplary personal traits of Jones. Per a USGA release, Inkster was selected, in part, because of her "passionate spirit and the high esteem she continues to garner throughout the game."
“Bob Jones represented the epitome of what the game of golf is all about," Inkster said. "To receive an award named after him, and given by the USGA, that goes beyond recognizing my golf achievements, but recognizes the respect I have for the game and passion for giving back to it, it is an unbelievable honor to receive this award.
