England’s Royal Lytham &, St Annes Golf Club has won the 2028 American Open Championship, which means that Scotland’s Trump Turnberry program may wait until at least 2029 before hosting the oldest major once more.
R&, A CEO Mark Darbon stated on Monday at Royal Birkdale Golf Club during press day for the upcoming Open Championship in July that “turnberry is still in our minds.”
Five years prior, Turnberry hosted the Open, before the Trump Organization, the parent company of US President Donald Trump’s real estate portfolio, purchased the property for US$ 60 million ($ A83 million ).
Turnberry, which also hosted the Open in 1977, 1986, and 1994, has undergone a reportedly$ US200 million ($ A278 million ) revamp since joining the Trump umbrella, according to Front Office Sports.
Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, the sons of Donald Jr., have been in charge of the Trump Organization’s daily activities since 2017.
The 2009 Open at Turnberry attracted 123, 000 spectators, which is far below the 200, 000+ that are typical at many other facilities in movement.
” We really like the course of golfing,” Darbon said on Monday. We are aware of the operational difficulties involved in holding a modern Open Championship that, mainly off the course, including the road, rail, and lodging infrastructure.
We’ve had a truly fruitful discussion with the club and its owners, and there was a fairly open discussion it.
In a four-hole playoffs, Stewart Cink defeated 59-year-old Tom Watson to claim the Open at Turnberry in 2009.
The Open Championship has been held at Royal Lytham &, St Annes 11 days since 1926, most just in 2012 when Ernie Els from South Africa defeated Adam Scott by one shot.
