England picked up the bronze medal at the World Team Championship (Eisenhower Trophy) in Singapore to complete a fine end to the 2026 campaign.

The trio of Eliot Baker, Charlie Forster and Tyler Weaver starred in sweltering conditions at the biennial competition, finishing on a combined score of -19, just two shy of Australia in 2nd, while South Africa won the event with a whopping -29.

In the individual standings, Baker was tied-11th on -6, while Forster and Weaver were tied-17th on -5 in the 108-player field. South Africa’s Christian Maas topped the leaderboard with a staggering -22, 10 clear of his nearest competitor. Click here to see the final leaderboard.

The bronze medal caps a fine year for England Golf, who won both the Women’s & Men’s and Girls’ & Boys’ Home Internationals, the European Cup of Nations, and the annual Octagonal Match in Spain.

England Men also enjoyed a bronze medal in the European Team Championships, while England Women finished 4th at the World Team Championship (Espirito Santo Trophy) last week.

England also triumphed in their international matches with Spain at both senior and under-16 level, and beat Ireland in their annual under-16 match, while there have been some fantastic individual triumphs including Charlotte Naughton’s wins at the World Junior Golf Championship and the German Girls’ Amateur (first ever Englishperson to do so), Eliot Baker’s Portuguese Amateur and Scottish Men’s Open victories, Ellie Lichtenhein’s European Young Masters win, and Charlie Rusbridge’s success at the French Boys’ Amateur.

England Golf Men’s Performance Manager Ben Gorvett said: “We thought for a moment on the 18th green watching the last three groups that we might come away with the silver to equal our best-ever finish at the event, however Australia did well to birdie the last three holes to beat us by two shots.

“It was one of those freak weeks for South Africa who were fantastic and they blitzed the field which you have to admire, but we’re delighted to come away with another medal, being the top European team. Anytime you come away with a medal on the world stage is something to celebrate and an achievement everyone should be proud of.

“The bronze medal at the Eisenhower Trophy rounds off another very successful year for our England teams at all levels, especially the Men’s Team, having medalled in all six events we’ve played this year – winning four and picking up two bronzes.

“Our players have tasted victory in every age group and in both individual and team environments around the world. We are once again indebted to our coaches, volunteers and staff who have worked tirelessly to support the players through the course of the year to bring so much success to English golf.”
