Slumbers: Open at Turnberry would be 'very complex'

In announcing that St. Andrews will host The Open in 2021, R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers also confirmed that the 2022 championship will be held "south of the border" in England.

It means the wait for an Open return to Trump Turnberry in Scotland will have to wait for at least another year, and Slumbers explained in a media conference call Monday that part of the reason for the delay is tied to the man whose name is emblazoned on the property.

Donald Trump purchased Turnberry in 2014, more than two years before he was elected President of the United States.
