Golf bosses have admitted Donald Trump is an issue around The Open ever returning to Turnberry. Royal and Ancient boss Mark Darbon confirmed they would love to go back but outlined the challenges regarding the size and area of the site plus the looming spectre of the sitting President of the United States of America's When asked if the Trump's involvement with Turnberry was a stickler to The Open returning, he said: “I think the key issue for us at the moment is these logistical and commercial challenges. We’re trying to explore ways to get around those and to mitigate for the future.” Crucially, though, Darbon then added: “Of course, when it comes to a championship like this, we also want the focus to be on the golf. So that’s a factor, too.” Trump, of course, gatecrashed the 2015 Women’s Open when he landed a private helicopter at the course during the opening day’s play, an attention grabbing move which took attention away from the Championship. Also, with The Open growing into a phenomenal sporting event, it’s clear Turnberry faces issues with keeping up in terms of demands and requirements. Darbon gave a detailed explanation on that situation as he said: “Turnberry’s a wonderful golf course and I think some of the recent improvements there have made it even better. “It’s a course that we’d love to return to at some point and I think when we look at our portfolio of venues, of which we’re very proud, there are three or four things that inform our choices and where we go. “We need brilliant courses that challenge the world’s best golfers. “Given the scale of a modern Open, we have to be really thoughtful about some of the logistical and commercial challenges and opportunities that come with staging an event like this. “And we want to continue to tell wonderful stories about our championship and we have no doubt when it comes to Turnberry about the first and third of those factors, a brilliant golf course and a wonderful place to tell stories about our game. “Where we have some challenges is around the logistical and commercial challenges. I think the last time we were there in 2009, we had just over 120,000 people. We just said we’re going to have close to 280,000 here [at Portrush] this summer. “That’s really important for us because not only do we want to showcase this wonderful championship to as many people as possible, but it’s important for us in terms of our commercial model because everything that we generate from the Open, we then reinvest back into the game all around the world. “So we’ve got a few challenges at Turnberry. The road, rail and accommodation infrastructure presents some challenges if we wish to scale our operation there. “But we’ve got a good dialogue with the ownership group and we’ll continue to look at feasibility as we move forward. We’d love to return at some stage.” Follow Record Sport on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
