The Scottish Championship has been added to the DP World Tour’s 2025 global schedule, taking place at Donald Trump’s Trump International Golf Links Scotland in Aberdeenshire from August 7-10, 2025.

The $2.75million tournament, which previously featured as part of the Race to Dubai in 2020, will be the penultimate event in the Closing Swing, the fifth and final Global Swing which forms phase one of the DP World Tour’s 2025 season.

This announcement comes just two months after a second Donald Trump golf course was vandalised by pro-Palestinian supporters — first Trump Turnberry in Scotland, followed by Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Ireland in March. Both acts were a direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

President Donald Trump has also been at the forefront of negotiations between the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund — the financial backer of the LIV Golf League — in efforts to achieve reunification.

It will be the first time the DP World Tour has visited Trump International Golf Links Scotland, which did hosted the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in both 2023 and 2024 and will do so again from July 30 – August 3, the week prior to the Scottish Championship.
