Donald Trump has been dealt a major blow in his bid for the Open Championship to be staged at his UK golf course, according to reports.
Trump, who met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington on Thursday, is looking for the major golf tournament to be held at his course in Turnberry, Scotland, Sky News presenter Mark Austin claimed on X.
However, The Telegraph is now reporting that Scottish governing body R&A has no plans to host the Open at Turnberry until it is ‘comfortable that the whole dialogue will be about golf’.
R&A chiefs are also said to be against the idea of staging the championship there due to the relatively low income Turnberry has brought in for them.
