Old Tom Morris Award

The Pinnacle Award for those outside of the GCSAA membership, the Old Tom Morris Award is presented to an individual who, through a continuing lifetime commitment to the game of golf, has helped to mold the welfare of the game in a manner and style exemplified by Old Tom Morris. The recipient of this award is determined by the GCSAA Board of Directors. This award is presented annually at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show.
