Stuart Hutcheson 3 Time Major Blind Golf Winner

Support Stuart Hutcheson – Champion Blind Golfer

Stuart Hutcheson is an extraordinary individual: a blind golfer whose story of resilience and triumph has inspired people across the world.

Diagnosed with Stargardt’s Disease in his twenties — a rare degenerative eye condition that causes progressive vision loss — Stuart has less than 5% vision and no central vision at all. Forced to give up work, he could easily have withdrawn. Instead, he has rebuilt his life through golf, a sport he had not played in over 27 years.

In just three years, Stuart has become a recognised figure in blind golf worldwide.

From Breakthrough to Legacy

2023 – In his debut season, Stuart won both the British Open at Belton Woods and the Irish Open at Mount Wolseley — becoming the first blind golfer ever to win both titles in the same year. He also made his international debut against Scotland, winning all three of his matches.

2024 – Stuart was again selected to represent England & Wales in the prestigious “Auld Enemy” match against Scotland, where he repeated the feat and remained unbeaten, cementing his reputation as a reliable and tenacious competitor.

2025 – Despite enduring multiple personal bereavements earlier in the year, Stuart produced one of the proudest achievements of his career: winning the British Open Blind Golf Championship at Peebles, Scotland, his second Open title in three years and his third international victory overall.

This progression shows not just one season of brilliance, but a resilience to overcome adversity.

Why Stuart Needs Support

Stuart’s success has led to him having life changing opportunities to compete in all nine International Blind Golf events across the globe — from Australia to Canada, Japan to Scandinavia.

He is a true ambassador for blind golf, admired for his talent, determination, and advocacy for inclusivity in sport.

However, Stuart’s only income is from an ill-health pension. Travel, accommodation, and competition costs are significant, and without external support he cannot afford to compete at the International level.
