Donald Trump increases his golf footprint in Scotland while world looks elsewhere | Ewan Murray

The article discusses Donald Trump's efforts to increase his golf footprint in Scotland, particularly in relation to the hosting of the Open Championship at his Turnberry golf course. The article highlights that Turnberry's lack of adjacent infrastructure makes it unsuitable for hosting the Open in its current form, despite Trump's championing of the course. However, the article suggests that Turnberry could be a realistic venue for the Scottish Open, which would provide Trump with a portion of the profile and kudos he desires for the course, while also being a mutually convenient arrangement. The article emphasizes that the scale and logistics of the Open Championship at Royal Portrush this year have underscored the futility of ongoing discussions about Turnberry hosting the world's oldest major.
