By OLIVER SALT Published: 17:31 GMT, 28 February 2025 | Updated: 17:48 GMT, 28 February 2025 Donald Trump has been dealt a major blow in his bid for the Open Championship to be staged at his golf course in the UK, according to reports. Trump, who met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington on Thursday, is hoping for the major tournament to be held at his course in Turnberry, Scotland, Sky News presenter Mark Austin claimed on X earlier this week. The American president's golf request is said to be high on his wish list to the UK, which Starmer is likely to have heard in full during their meeting at the White House. However, The Telegraph is reporting that Scottish golf chiefs are unlikely to accept his demands. It is believed the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, which serves as governing body for golf in Scotland, 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. More to follow.
