00:00Trump Turnberry stands firm against hosting Live Golf events.
00:04Donald Trump has welcomed Live Golf in the U.S., hosting events in Florida, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.
00:11But at Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire, Scotland, the Saudi-backed league has never been on the radar, says director Ricky Hall.
00:18When Live appeared, the automatic thought was, there's a good chance it would come here, Hall told the Daily Record.
00:25Yet, Trump is laser-focused on bringing back the Open Championship to Turnberry for the first time since 2009.
00:33Mr. Trump's been clear all along that he would love to have the Open Championship here, and he doesn't want to do anything that derails that, Hall explained.
00:41That would be, obviously, his aim.
00:44Whether Trump's goal is feasible is debated.
00:47The R&A cites big logistical challenges obstructing Turnberry's Open hosting.
00:52Turnberry still welcomes major events.
00:55With Hall suggesting the Scottish Open due to its rich tournament history.
00:59The Scottish Open, obviously an interesting one, is something that we're very, very open to discussing, Hall said.
01:06While Trump's American Properties host Live, his Scottish estate aims for golf's oldest major, prioritizing the Open for Ailsa.
