The Scottish Championship will return to the course from August 7 through August 10th, making it the first time Donald Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course will host a DP World Tour event.

The event will replace the canceled Czech Masters, which was held once before, in October 2020 at Fairmont St. Andrews.

The Menie neighborhood, 10 miles north of Aberdeen, was home to the president of the United States, and it hosted PGA Seniors tournaments in 2023 and 2024.

The DP World Tour’s CEO, Guy Kinnings, stated that “Trump International Golf Links Scotland has already established itself as one of the best modern links courses in the UK and promises to be a fantastic venue for the return of the Scottish Championship.”

The FedEx St Jude Championship in the PGA Tour’s season-ending play-offs, as well as the Chicago event in LIV Golf, will coincide with the $2.75 million (£2 million) prize fund.

The president, who purchased Turnberry in 2014, has remained financially invested and handed over control of his Scottish golf courses to his sons shortly before taking office for the first time in 2017.

This significant milestone, according to Eric Trump, executive vice president of The Trump Organization and the president’s son, reflects the team’s hard work and is a true testament to the outstanding golf and hospitality we offer in Scotland.
