Compete with golf's legends at Staysure PGA Seniors Championship
If you're a golfer then you'll have dreamed of striding the fairways with your heroes. Stroking home a nerve-jangling five-footer under the approving gaze of a major winner, or watching a Ryder Cup legend smile as your drive splits the fairway is truly a bucket-list experience. Some Press and Journal online content is funded by outside parties. The revenue from this helps to sustain our independent news gathering. You will always know if you are reading paid-for material as it will be clearly labelled as 'Partnership' on the site and on social media channels. This can take two different forms. This means the content has been paid for and produced by the named advertiser. This means the content has been paid for and approved by the named advertiser but written and edited by our own commercial content team. At this year's Staysure PGA Seniors Championship from July 31 to August 3 that dream can become reality. The event offers packages that not only let you tee it up with the stars, but also compete alongside them, relax in the same lounge as them, practise where they practise and dine where they dine. It's a package that goes far beyond the normal pro-am experience or corporate hospitality deal. Here you won't just watch from a box – you'll be part of the action with names such as tournament host Colin Montgomerie and former Open winner Paul Lawrie. Neither is it just golfing legends that you'll get to rub shoulders with. You will also be taking your place alongside famous faces from sport and TV as you enjoy the ultimate inside the ropes experience. All that and it takes place at one of the world's best golf courses in Trump International Aberdeen – a modern links masterpiece that rolls through the spectacular dunes on Scotland's northeast coast. Tempted? You should be. So, what exactly does it entail. There are three playing packages available – the Championship Pro Am, Celebrity Pro Am and The Legends Experience. In this fantastic package you'll tee it up with two other amateurs alongside a Legends Tour player for 18 holes on the Tuesday before the event. On top of that you can use the same practice facilities as the Legends to warm up and have breakfast beside them in the players lounge. You'll also get a bespoke Legends Tour Gift bag, along with post-round hospitality and a prize giving for £1,200 per person or £3,500 per team. An exceptional opportunity where you are part of the professional tournament itself, this truly is one of the finest amateur experiences in sport. Lucky participants will enjoy four days of golf, starting with Wednesday's Celebrity Pro-Am. Then the real fun starts as you play 36 holes alongside two Legends in the tournament proper. You'll get to see exactly what it is to be a golfing star as you play in front of TV cameras and crowds, while also getting access to the players' lounge, locker room and practice facilities. Those who make the cut will compete on the fourth day to be named top amateur. You'll be put up in luxury accommodation and have the chance to hone your skills with a clinic from the Legends. There will also be world-class hospitality, VIP functions and evenings hosted by Ryder Cup Legends. Crossing The Legends Experience off your bucket list costs £12,000. This immensely popular package described by former Premiership footballer Robbie Fowler as 'an incredible experience' is already sold out and no wonder. Lucky participants will be playing a round alongside a star of sport, TV or media as well as a Legend on Wednesday July 30. They will also get access to all tournament facilities, as well as pre and post-round hospitality and a tournament branded gift pack for £2,500 (including VAT). You just have to look at the packages to know this is something that will create memories for a lifetime. But don't just take our word for it. Here's what former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley had to say. 'It means a lot to spend time with passionate golf fans, sharing my thoughts and knowledge on leadership, performance and creating a winning team culture based on a player and as a victorious Ryder Cup captain.'

Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course to host Scottish Championship
Donald Trump's golf course in Aberdeenshire will host the Scottish Championship as part of the DP World Tour this summer. The Championship has been added to the world tour schedule for August this year at Trump International Golf Links on the Menie Estate in Balmedie. The £2m tournament will take place from August 7-10 a week after the venue will host the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship for the third year in succession. The Scottish Championship was last played in October 2020 when Adrian Otaegui finished four shots clear of Matt Wallace at Fairmont St Andrews. It comes as the US President has reportedly spoken to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer about the Open Championship returning to Turnberry. The South Ayrshire course last hosted the Open in 2009. Eric Trump, executive vice-president of The Trump Organization, hailed the announcement as a 'significant milestone which reflects the hard work of our team and is a true testament to the exceptional golf and hospitality we deliver in Scotland.' 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.' Mark Darbon, chief executive of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) said last month that the focus of any Open must be solely on the golf. He also voiced concerns about the infrastructure around the Girvan course. 'The golf course is magnificent,' Darbon said. 'If anything, it's better now than it ever has been, given some of the improvements that have been made to the course. 'But there are some challenges around the road and rail network, some of the accommodation provision in the surrounding area, and so we're working on what a model could look like for the future.'

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.

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.'
