Donald Trump’s Scottish Golf course will not welcome the best world championship – Politico

Trump bought the course in 2014 and his son Eric Trump was pressure for Turnberry to organize his first championship opened since 2009. Before that, Turnberry organized for the last time in 1994.

“The field where there is a little challenge is around the logistical and commercial side. The last time we were in Turnbury in 2009, we had 120,000 people there,” said Darbon.

The Open is the oldest major championship in golf and is located alongside the Masters, the PGA championship and the United States open among the most prestigious tournaments of sport.

Darbon added: “These days, a modern open is for 250,000 people and more, and we therefore need the road and rail infrastructure to bring our fans base. We need hotel accommodation for the 60,000 bed nights we need to organize our championship and it is difficult in this place.”

Darbon also involved Trump’s position as American president could also eclipse any tournament: “We must be convinced that the accent will be on sport and that we must make sure that the place works for our requirements.”

His comments land as a 33 -year -old man should appear in court on Monday in connection with vandalism with Turnberry at the beginning of the month. The red paint was sprayed on the clubhouse and damage was caused to the Greens.

Trump wrote on Monday that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer informed him “that they caught the terrorists who attacked the magnificent Turnberry” and he hoped that they “would be treated harshly”.

Trump’s golf course in Bedminster in New Jersey was to welcome the PGA 2022 championship, before the sports authorities removed the tournament after the January 6 insurrection.
