Turnberry is the name of a famous golf course in southwest Scotland, on the Firth of Clyde in Ayrshire, in the United Kingdom. Its splendor made it the site of the 2009 British Open and part of its "rota" of nine golf courses for rotating that famous tournament:
| “ | The Turnberry golf course first hosted the Open Championship in 1977, when Tom Watson narrowly defeated Jack Nicklaus by one stroke. Turnberry went on to host the Open three more times, most recently in 2009, but the course has not been called on since the Trump organization purchased it in 2014.[1] | ” |
In June 2023, the golf governing body in the UK announced that the British Open will not be held at this course for the foreseeable future, as long as it is owned by Trump.[2]
In pandering to the liberal media, the PGA cancelled a championship tournament it had scheduled for a Trump golf course in Bedminster, NJ, in 2022. PGA was subsequently humiliated by the new LIV tour, which does hold its tournaments at Trump-owned courses.
