Lahinch, Ireland · 2026
Eliot Baker and Ben Bolton earn selection for golf's most prestigious amateur team event.
It is a landmark moment for APN. Two of the brand's rising amateur stars, Eliot Baker and Ben Bolton, have both earned selection to represent Great Britain & Ireland at the 2026 Walker Cup, held on the famous links of Lahinch Golf Club.
The Walker Cup is the pinnacle of men's amateur golf — a biennial contest between Great Britain & Ireland and the United States that has launched the careers of some of the game's greatest players. Earning a place on the team is one of the highest honours available to an amateur, and to see two APN athletes named in the same side is a proud reflection of the level they are competing at.
Both players have made APN's three-stage system a core part of their preparation and tournament routine — fuelling consistent energy, hydration and focus from the first tee to the closing hole across the long, demanding days that decide amateur championships.
“Seeing Eliot and Ben both named to the Walker Cup team is exactly why we do this. These are the players shaping the future of the game, and we could not be prouder to fuel them on the biggest stage in amateur golf.”
Eliot Baker arrives at Lahinch as one of the standout performers in the amateur game, while Ben Bolton has been a model of the consistency that selectors prize — steady, energised golf sustained over every round. Their selections cap outstanding stretches for both players.
