Trump ownership in Scotland to organize an event on Europe

Virginia Water, England – A Scottish golf course by US President Donald Trump will organize a tournament on the European tour in August.

Trump International Golf Links Scotland will stage the Scottish championship from August 7th to 10th after the tour on Tuesday on schedule 2025.

The course in Aberdeen is one of two in the possession of Trump in Scotland. The other is Trump Turnberry, one of 10 courses in the rotation to organize the British Open – the oldest of the four major male championships – but no longer staged this event.

It will be the first time that Trump is organizing an event on the European tour, although the course 2023 and 2024 was used for a tournament on the senior tour and will do this again this year, week before the Scottish Championship.

Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, said that the orientation of back-to-back events at Trump International had shown a “important milestone”.

The Scottish championship was last played on the European tour in October 2020.

Trump's courses also organize events on Breakaway Liv Golf Circuit.

The R&A, which British Open is organizing, pointed out logistical and infrastructure problems when the main factor for Turnberry's failure to maintain the major since 2009 when Stewart Cink defeated 59-year-old Tom Watson in a playoff.

In 2021, the then CEO of R&A, Martin Slumbers, would not return to Turnberry, “until we are convinced that the focus on the championship, the players and the course itself and we do not believe that this can be reached under the current circumstances”-an allusion to Trump's course.

However, the attitude of the R&A seems to be soft according to the recently commissioned CEO Mark Darbon, who said last month that his organization carried out “feasibility work with regard to a possible return to turnberry.

Trump International in northern Scotland has a panoramic view of offshore wind turbines near Aberdeen Beach.

The approval of the Scottish government for the wind farm attracted the anger of Trump because he considered the turbines as “unsightly” and spoiled the prospects in his luxury golf resort nearby.
