Bunkered – Issue 232 2026

Summary

Harry Kane — the England captain and golf nut — leads Bunkered Issue 232's World Cup Special Edition (p42) with an exclusive interview covering his love of golf, his investment in apparel brand Reflo, and how the England football camp uses golf as a team-bonding tool. Andy Robertson (p50) tells the story of how a Glasgow golf club helped shape the Liverpool and Scotland icon, while Mark Stewart (p88) reveals why he turned down his dream job to build Stewart Golf — now one of the world's leading electric trolley manufacturers. New Titleist GTS drivers (p95) headline the gear section, and Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida (p109) leads the travel content.

The Harry Kane interview (p42) runs across 8 pages and covers his golf handicap (reported to be around 2), his regular fourball partners, and his investment thesis for backing an apparel brand that targets golfers who also follow football. The piece includes Kane's thoughts on how golf has improved his football captaincy by teaching patience and perspective. Andy Robertson's feature (p50) traces his journey from a Glasgow housing scheme to Champions League winner, with the recurring thread that playing golf at his local municipal course provided a escape from football pressure and taught him how to compete on his own.

Mark Stewart's story (p88) is the issue's surprise hit — a detailed business biography of how one man's obsession with golf trolley design led him to reject a career in aerospace engineering and build a premium brand from a Scottish workshop. The Titleist GTS drivers review (p95) covers the full GTS family, including standard, HD (high draw) and LS (low spin) models, with launch monitor data and on-course impressions from Bunkered's testers.

Editor's Take

The Harry Kane interview is a genuine coup — Bunkered secured access that most sports magazines would envy, and Kane is more engaging on golf than he usually is on football. The Andy Robertson piece is the second strong feature; the Glasgow municipal course framing gives it a relatable hook. Mark Stewart's business story is the surprise of the issue — a genuinely original feature about a Scottish manufacturer that most golfers have used without knowing the founder's name. The World Cup theme holds together better than expected, with each feature connecting back to football in a natural way. The Titleist GTS test is thorough and data-driven. The Cabot Citrus Farms travel piece is effective but guilty of assuming all readers can afford a Florida golf holiday. The issue's biggest weakness is the absence of women's content — no Solheim Cup, no LPGA, no female amateur feature — which is a gap in a magazine that has been improving gender balance.

Strengths
• Harry Kane interview is an exclusive with genuine access
• Mark Stewart/Stewart Golf story is original business reporting
• Titleist GTS driver test provides specific launch data

Weaknesses
• No women's golf content in a 120-page issue
• Cabot travel feature assumes a Florida-holiday budget

Verdict: Essential — the Kane interview and Stewart story make this the most newsworthy Bunkered issue of 2026, despite the gap in women's coverage.
