Unsurprisingly, Rory McIlroy triumphed in the Player of the Year category, beating off the likes of Martin Kaymer and Jimmy Walker.
Charl Schwartzel prevailed in the Shot of the Year category for his incredible 5-iron off a cart path at the Volvo Golf Champions in January, which settled some four feet from the hole.
Rickie Fowler won Breakthrough Performance of the Year for his four top-5 major finishes in 2014, while Annika Sorenstam secured the Outstanding Contribution to the Game accolade in recognition of her dedication to growing and supporting golf worldwide.
McIlroy, Schwartzel and Sorenstam took time out of their busy schedules to thank Foremost professionals and readers of Golf Monthly for their respective Foremost Golf Monthly Awards.
Alongside the consumer element, a number of PGA Professional and brands were recognised at the ceremony.
