Donald Trump's Aberdeen course could stage back-to-back events this summer

The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship, one of the marquee events on the Legends Tour, had already been confirmed for a second consecutive year at Trump International Golf Links on 31 July-3 August.

Now, in what would be a rare occurrence in top-level golf, there is a chance that the Martin Hawtree-designed course could also be hosting a DP World Tour event the following week.

The possibility was first reported by Golf Digest and The Scotsman understands that fans in the North-East could, indeed, be in for a treat.

“Any updates to our 2025 global schedule will be announced in due course” is the official line coming from the DP World Tour.

However, it is believed that discussions have been taking place between the Wentworth-based organisation and Trump’s golf team about filling a gap on the schedule that had previously been occupied by the Czech Masters.

Following its high-profile opening in 2012, Trump talked about how he’d like to see the Scottish Open held on the MacLeod Course - it was named after his mother - at Balmedie, north of Aberdeen.

Now a Rolex Series event and co-sanctioned with the PGA Tour as well, it has since found a new home at The Renaissance Club in East Lothian, where it is set to be held for the seventh year in a row in July.

However, it would be an exciting development for Trump if his Aberdeen course staged its first DP World Tour event, especially at a time when new Mark Darbon, The R&A’s new CEO, has reiterated that it seems unlikely that The Open will return to Trump Turnberry in the near future due to logistical issues at the Ayrshire venue.
