R&A Discussed Turnberry British Open with Trump's Son
SOUTH AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND, JUL 16 – R&A officials discussed infrastructure challenges with Eric Trump to consider Turnberry hosting the Open again, last held there in 2009 with 120,000 spectators attending.
- The R&A, led by new chief executive Mark Darbon, discussed the possibility of the British Open returning to Turnberry with Donald Trump's son in 2025.
- Turnberry last hosted the Open in 2009 but fell out of the rotation mainly due to logistical and transportation challenges, despite speculation of political factors.
- Darbon emphasized ongoing constructive dialogue with the Trump golf organization and the UK government while noting Turnberry remains on the list of potential sites pending infrastructure improvements.
- Turnberry has been the venue for the Open Championship on four occasions, drawing 120,000 fans to its most recent tournament there, while Darbon described it as an excellent links course that requires improvements in transportation and lodging infrastructure.
- The discussions suggest Turnberry’s return depends on resolving infrastructure issues, and the R&A retains sole authority over venue decisions regardless of external political visits or pressures.
