As a multi-major winning player and Solheim Cup captain, Suzann Pettersen was one of the most recognisable female golfers on the planet.

But while other women’s sports are breaking down barriers – just look at the reaction to England’s football and rugby union squads over the summer – can the same be said for golf?

As she retired from tour life, Pettersen set up VOXA – a company entirely dedicated to elevating professional women’s golf and she talks about the journey on this month’s edition of The GBQ Podcast.

Hosted by Sky Sports Golf presenter Sarah Stirk, each month The GBQ podcast brings you in-depth interviews and provides genuine analysis around the most important topics facing the golf industry.

This episode of GBQ TV comes from The PGA Partners’ Event 2025 at Slaley Hall where host Sarah Stirk is joined by an expert panel to discuss some of the pressing issues in the golf industry.

Richard Barker, The PGA’s executive director – business development; Phil Craghill, director of golf marketing agency GMS; Chris Eigelaar, managing director of The Belfry Hotel & Resort; and Nuno Supelveda, co-CEO of Details Group and PGA Aroeira, engaged in a lively discussion and answered questions from a live audience.

• Whether experience is more important than the golf course when it comes to providing a memorable tourism adventure
