- R&A: ‘We will not return until … focus is on championship’
- Earlier PGA stripped 2022 major from Trump National
The R&A has appeared to rule out Turnberry hosting the Open golf championship while it remains in the hands of Donald Trump – with its chief executive warning that they will not return to the Scottish course until they are “convinced that the focus will be on the championship”.
The news comes after Trump National in Bedminster was stripped of next year’s US PGA Championship with organisers insisting that using the course would be “detrimental” to their brand in the wake of the invasion of the US Capitol.
