Donald Trump will not host Scotland Open because of the commercial “Challenges” | Golf news

The game in the game said that Donald Trump’s dreams of hosting the Turnberry Championship in Scotland will not be achieved until the tournament is viable in logistical and commercial.

Mark Dargon, CEO of R&A, told Sky News Turnberry, a “difficult” place, and despite the diplomatic pressure suggestions from London and Washington, she does not have immediate plans to star in Ayrshire.

Mr. Trump did not hide his desire to return to an open championship that was bought in 2014, with his son Eric Trump’s leadership in his first championship since 2009.

Sources close to Mr. Trump Sky News have told the Open to be a valuable negotiating tool in the United Kingdom’s commercial negotiations with the United States, and the king went to the point of mentioning Turnberry in an invitation to visit the state submitted by the Prime Minister last month.

In his first radio interview since he became the CEO last November, Mr. Darbon said that logistics and finances are currently excluding a session that may have exceeded modern open demands.

“The area where there is some challenge about the logistical and commercial side. The last time we were in Turnbury in 2009, we had 120,000 people there,” he said.

“These days, the Open newly meets 250,000 people, so we need the traffic infrastructure and railway to get our fans base.

Mr. Darbon did not deny that there is pressure to consider Turnberry, and indicated that the policy, and that the possibility that Mr. Trump will overwhelm any event, will be a worker.

“We must be confident that the focus will be on sports and we need to make sure that the place is working for our requirements,” he added.

Competition for Turnberry is likely to increase from the largest and less remote facilities.

R&A paints open places of Rota of Courses, where Royal Portrush was organized this year after the return of the sale nearly 70 years in 2019. Mr. Darbon Portmarnock confirmed near Dublin, which is considered actively for the first time ever outside the United Kingdom.

Increased income is open because research and development, which governs the game everywhere to save the United States, uses revenues to finance a base at the base level that still has the prosperity of the post.

“We are working with more than 140 countries around the world, and in those markets there are now more than 62 million golf players, more than ever,” said Mr. Darbon.

“About 40 million millions of golf plays regularly at the Golf Stadium nine and 18 holes, and another 20 million people play what we call unconventional formats such as driving ranges, adventure golf, and simulation golf. So the game is in fact in a rude health condition and our process is to continue to enhance and support them over time.”

It is also optimistic that the goal may be on the horizon for the golf trade war, between the American PGA tour and the Golf Lev, funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is a separation of billions of dollars in the professional game of men that enriched dozens of players while isolating many fans.

“There was a lot of talking about money, not talking enough about competition, training courses, and all other wonderful things that support our sport. So we are optimistic about some positive change on that front. We are not a negotiating table, but our mission is to try to influence those discussions.”

Other major major golf championships, including masters next month, have benefited from the conflict as the only platform for all the best male players, and Mr. Darbon says the game maintains its profitable attractive business and sponsors.

“I think the golf game maintains its commercial attractiveness and I think there are a number of things that support it,” he said.

“The game has a truly rich history and heritage, and sport values ​​are really strong, and companies brands can continue to tell really rich stories about the golf game that connects its products and special services. Moreover, the golf game has a real world audience.”

Among them is the most powerful man in the world, his ambitions to host the open that is still not achieved.
