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.
Prior to 2021, GCSAA members were eligible for the Old Tom Morris Award. The pinnacle award for GCSAA members is now the Col. John Morley Award.
