R&A met Trump's son to discuss Turnberry Open
Despite receiving 1.2m ticket applications for The Open Championship, R&A Chief Executive Darbon prioritizes quality over quantity for the event. The UK Government has discussed the potential return of The Open to Turnberry with the R&A, but venue choices remain with the organization. While Trump's ownership of Turnberry raises hypothetical questions, logistical challenges must be addressed before considering the course for future championships. Darbon's interest in returning The Open to Turnberry contrasts with his predecessor's concerns about distractions surrounding the venue.
