The Open will not be held at the Turnberry golf club, which is owned by Donald Trump.

Trump has put a lot of money into his golf club in Ayrshire, Scotland, so that it can host The Open again. But the organizers are worried about possible protests against Trump, so they have decided to take it off the list.

The Open was last played on this course in 2009. Five years later, Trump bought it, and he is sure that “everyone wants to see the Open Championship here.” But people close to the R&A have told The Telegraph that Trump will not get what he wants.

People have said that if the property wanted to host The Open, Trump would have to sell the course because his golf clubs would make the event a big security risk. But the Trump family is still determined to go through with it, hoping that the quality of their course will help them win the fight.

Trump’s son Eric said in a statement, “My family cares deeply about Scotland and has a single goal: to keep Turnberry as the best golf course in the world.” Trump’s son helped redesign the Trump National Doral course in Miami and has been in talks to get their Scotland property into The Open conversation.

Trump’s son also said, “We have put nearly $200 million into the property.” “We won the most prestigious awards in the golf world, and everyone agrees that our course is the best in the Open Championship rotation.”

But his father and the former President have backed him up, and the former President has tried to sell his course to The Open organizers even more. “It was done with the help of a great architect,” Trump said. “Peter Dawson told me about a great golf architect named Martin Grant Hawtree.

I told him to give me the best one and Martin Grant Hawtree.”He’s a great guy and a great man…. He does this kind of thing, and he did a great job. We’re going to make a couple of small changes, but other than that, it’s great.

Everyone wants to see the Open Championship here, especially the golfers, for whom this is their favorite course and the best in Europe.

But it looks like Trump may have to keep hoping for now. A source from the R&A said, “We have no plans to hold any of our championships there in the near future, and we won’t go back until we are sure that the focus will be on the championship, the players, and the course itself.”
