The QHotels Collection and the PGA have launched the next phase of their national partnership, united by a new purpose: raising awareness of prostate cancer — one of the most common cancers affecting men in the UK.
To kick off the campaign, representatives from both organisations met at Oulton Hall to participate in The Big Golf Race, Prostate Cancer UK’s flagship challenge. Taking on 54 holes in one day, the team tested their endurance while bringing attention to a condition that impacts 1 in 8 men in the UK.
Keith Pickard, Golf, Health Club & Spa Director at The QHotels Collection, said: “Golf is a powerful platform for connection, community and change. Our partnership with the PGA already brings incredible value to our resorts, and we’re proud to build on that by supporting Prostate Cancer UK through initiatives like The Big Golf Race. We hope this event will be the first of many, helping to raise awareness, encourage vital conversations, and ultimately save lives.”
The event marks the beginning of a wider programme of awareness and fundraising initiatives across The QHotels Collection’s golf resorts, designed to involve golfers, guests, and members in supporting the cause while enjoying the game.
Duncan Rougvie, head of commercial partnerships at the PGA, added: “Prostate Cancer UK is a longstanding and valued partner of the PGA, and we’re proud to extend that support through our collaboration with The QHotels Collection. Together, we have a real opportunity to raise awareness of prostate cancer within the golf community and beyond. Initiatives like The Big Golf Race are a fantastic way to unite our members, venues, and golfers for a cause that matters.”
