Matthew Southgate: Cancer Didn’t Define Me - Golf, Recovery & Raising Awareness

In this episode of Check One Two, Paul sits down with professional golfer Matthew Southgate to talk about his testicular cancer journey, life on the golf course, and why he now uses his platform to help others.
Matthew was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015 at just 26 years old, at a time when his golf career was beginning to take off. After surgery and recovery, he returned to the sport he loved — but found himself facing a different challenge: being known as a cancer survivor as much as a golfer.
In this honest conversation, Matthew talks about the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, the mental impact of being labelled a survivor, the pressure of elite sport, and how golf became a place of focus and healing.
We discuss the importance of checking yourself, trusting medical professionals, making healthcare accessible for men, and why sports clubs can play such an important role in encouraging conversations around men’s health.
A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, kindness, and using your experience to help others.
