Despite logistical issues mentioned by R&A officials, Eric dismissed them, asserting that the course is primed and ready.
He believes that the political association with Trump has shifted and expressed hope for Turnberry to be evaluated solely based on its quality as a golf course. The R&A has also had discussions with government officials regarding the return of The Open to Turnberry. Meanwhile, Eric highlighted the unprecedented quality and ambition behind their golf developments in Scotland, dismissing any negative impact on local residents and insisting on the economic benefits brought by the Trump organization.
The future of Turnberry in golf's elite lineup remains uncertain, but Eric Trump remains committed to advocating for the historic venue as a worthy host for The Open Championship.
