Whitehall officials ‘pushing for the Open to return to Trump-owned Turnberry’

The US president has pushed for hosting the 2028 Open Championship at Donald Trump's Turnberry course after multiple requests, despite initial worries about challenges like spectator management and logistics. Senior Whitehall officials are now weighing it as a viable option due to strong support from the government, while the R&A is reevaluating its decision post the January 6 attack, acknowledging potential difficulties but remaining open to reconsidering Turnberry in the future. Financial benefits for SLC Turnberry could emerge if the event goes ahead.
