In an official statement from his office, former US President Donald Trump made it clear that he would prefer the championship to be played at a location other than Royal St. Georges.

“The greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland.” Trump writes. “But this course was not chosen because they consider a wonderful person and many-time Club Champion named Donald J. Trump, to be too controversial.”
