Trump Gets Another Golf Win With Euro Tour’s Scottish Championship

U.S. President Donald Trump is keen on seeing the Open Championship return to his Turnberry golf course. In the meantime, he’s added another event in Scotland.

U.S. President Donald Trump has notched another victory in his efforts to host premier professional golf events at the courses he owns across the world.

As momentum seemingly builds for Trump Turnberry to potentially host a future edition of the Open Championship (also known as the British Open), the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) has added a tournament at another Trump-owned property in Scotland to its 2025 schedule. 

Trump International Golf Links Scotland in Aberdeenshire will host the Scottish Championship on Aug. 7–10. Featuring a $2.75 million purse, the event will be played directly following the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship—a tournament for men age 50 and above—at the same venue.

Trump International Golf Links Scotland opened in 2012. The Scottish Championship has been played only once previously, in 2020 at Fairmont St Andrews. 

August’s tournament will be played the same week as the first leg of the PGA Tour’s playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and LIV Golf Chicago event, so not many of the world’s top-ranked and most popular players will be available for the Scottish Championship.

One Small Step

R&A CEO Mark Darbon, whose organization is the governing body for golf outside of the U.S. and Mexico and operates the Open Championship, recently shifted his stance on returning golf’s oldest major to Trump Turnberry, which last hosted the Open in 2009. “It’s a course we’d love to return to at some point,” Darbon said last month.

Multiple British outlets then reported that Trump had asked U.K. government officials about whether Turnberry will be able to host another Open Championship, and those officials in turn inquired with the R&A about that potential.

Sealing the Scottish Championship on the DP World Tour won’t guarantee anything for Turnberry, but it is a positive sign for Trump’s relationship with golf stakeholders across the pond.
