Confirmed: DP World Tour event to be held at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire in August
A DP World Tour event will take place at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire in August. The Scottish Championship will take place at the Balmedie course from August 7-10. It will be the first time the Tour has visited Trump International Golf Links Scotland, which hosted the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in both 2023 and 2024 and will do so again from July 30 to August 3, the week prior to the Scottish Championship. That means there will be back-to-back tournaments at the links course designed by Martin Hawtree which opened in 2012. Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour, said: 'Trump International Golf Links Scotland has already earned a reputation as one of the best modern links courses in the UK and it promises to be an excellent venue for the return of the Scottish Championship to our schedule.'

'2025 is an incredible year for Trump International, Scotland, as we proudly welcome two world-class tournaments and celebrate the highly anticipated grand opening of our new championship links course. 'This significant milestone reflects the hard work of our team and is a true testament to the exceptional golf and hospitality we deliver in Scotland.' The Scottish Championship was last played in October 2020 when Adrian Otaegui finished four shots clear of Matt Wallace at Fairmont St Andrews.

Scottish Championship to take place at Trump course
The Scottish Championship has been added to the DP World Tour's 2025 global schedule, taking place at Trump International Golf Links Scotland in Aberdeenshire from 7-10 August. It will be the first time the Tour has visited the venue, which was designed by Martin Hawtree and opened in 2012. "It promises to be an excellent venue for the return of the Scottish Championship to our schedule," said Guy Kinnings, CEO of the DP World Tour. The Scottish Championship was last played in October 2020 when Adrian Otaegui finished four shots clear of Matt Wallace at Fairmont St Andrews. Following the Scottish Championship, the tour's 'closing swing' will conclude with the Danish Golf Championship at Fureso Golf Klub in Copenhagen. That will be the last opportunity for players to qualify for the 'Back 9', the second phase of the DP World Tour's season, which begins with the Betfred British Masters hosted by Nick Faldo at The Belfry, from 21-24 August.
