The Big Golf Race 2025 is rolling around again, and this time Prostate Cancer UK is throwing down the gauntlet to golfers from all over the UK.
Dust off your clubs and seize those long summer days—not just to chase birdies but to back a cause that’s about more than just a tidy score.
Join in and lend your swing to TRANSFORM—the most ambitious prostate cancer screening trial in over 20 years.
Whether you’re chasing an eagle or just making it through 18 holes, every shot you take helps change the game for men’s health.
Since its launch in 2020, The Big Golf Race has become the UK’s largest golf fundraising challenge, with more than 14,400 golfers raising over £4.5 million to support vital research.
Now, the charity is urging even more golfers to go the distance in 2025 to help protect dads, grandads, brothers, partners, and golf mates from a disease that is now the most diagnosed cancer in England, affecting 1 in 8 men.
Simon Grieveson, Assistant Director of Research at Prostate Cancer UK, said: “Over the years, golfers have played a massive part in enabling us to launch research projects like TRANSFORM, which aims to definitively show the best way to screen men for prostate cancer, and in doing so providing earlier diagnoses and saving thousands of lives a year.
“Every year we’re blown away by the response to The Big Golf Race, and we’re delighted that it’s now the biggest fundraising challenge in golf.
That’s in no small part down to our inspirational army of golfing supporters, who turn out in their thousands every summer to raise life-changing amounts of money for Prostate Cancer UK.”
How to Get Involved
Golfers willing to take on The Big Golf Race 2025 have three fundraising options:
- The Marathon: 72 holes in a day
- The Half Marathon: 36 holes in a day
- The Ultra Marathon: 100 or more holes in a day
With every round played, participants will be raising crucial funds that will contribute to groundbreaking research and ultimately help save lives.

Official Launch Event
The Big Golf Race 2025 was officially launched this week in collaboration with Charles Tyrwhitt at an exclusive event at Pitch, Soho.
The event welcomed golfing media, content creators, and industry stakeholders, alongside Prostate Cancer UK supporters and celebrity ambassadors.
Scotland’s most decorated Olympian and keen golfer, Duncan Scott OBE, joined former international rugby union star Kenny Logan, who was successfully treated for prostate cancer in 2022, for a Q&A panel hosted by Sky Sports’ Johnny Phillips.
Kenny Logan shared his own prostate cancer journey, saying: “It’s inspiring to see how much the golf community has got behind The Big Golf Race, raising an incredible amount of money for Prostate Cancer UK.
“I knew about prostate cancer before my diagnosis, but as a young man, playing professional sport, you think you’re untouchable.
As you get older, you realise these things can happen and knowing that 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer reflects how important it is for men to know their risk.
“The Big Golf Race is fantastic as it gives golfers the opportunity to get together on the course and open up about their health, as well as raising money for a brilliant cause.
I’m delighted to be involved for 2025, and I hope to see as many golfers as possible out there this summer making a difference for men and their families.”
Eight-time Olympic medallist Duncan Scott will also be supporting fellow Olympian Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 ride, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK along with four other cancer charities this September.
He said: “Prostate Cancer UK’s Big Golf Race is an epic challenge that has made a real impact for men affected by prostate cancer, so I’m thrilled to be supporting it this year.
It’s a brilliant way of combining a fun day out on the course with mates with raising money for vital prostate cancer research, so it’s a real win-win.
“Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and it doesn’t discriminate – take my compatriot Sir Chris Hoy, for example.
His experience has really shone a light on the disease and the need for a prostate cancer screening programme, so knowing that the money raised through The Big Golf Race could help to deliver that is really exciting.
“I’ve never played more than two rounds in a day, so I’ve got massive respect for everyone taking on 72 – or even 100 holes – this summer, raising money for a great charity.”
