The world’s most watched golf YouTuber, Rick Shiels, has completed an epic golfing pilgrimage across Scotland ahead of the historic 150th Open Championship, raising an incredible £114,000 for Prostate Cancer UK.
On Sunday evening, Shiels, whose channel boasts over two million followers, crossed the line of a mammoth 150-mile trek from Prestwick Golf Club – the location of the first Open in 1860 – to the Old Course in St Andrews, all while carrying his trusty golf clubs on his back and surviving a stress fracture to the foot.
The six-day march, dubbed ‘#Walk150’, began on Tuesday, June 14, and Shiels walked throughout Men’s Health Week to highlight the one in eight men affected by prostate cancer in the UK, aptly finishing on Father’s Day.

Shiels was greeted by hundreds of fans while walking from the west to the east coast of Scotland, making stops at Cawder Golf Club and the Gleneagles resort before arriving at the iconic Swilcan Bridge on the Old Course.
From the ever-changing weather, rubbing golf bag and a fractured left foot, Rick described the walk as “the hardest challenge” of his professional life.
“This was the hardest challenge of my professional life,” said Shiels. “I’m truly humbled by the fans and people I don’t even know who came to see me and who sent me a supportive message.
