Nexo Championship Returns to Aberdeenshire with Exciting Plans
Nexo has confirmed the renewal of its title sponsorship for the Nexo Championship, set to take place at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire from August 20 to 23, 2026. This event will serve as the final tournament in the DP World Tour’s Closing Swing and mark the commencement of the 2026 Race to Dubai. The continuation of this partnership follows Nexo’s announcement in 2025 that it would serve as the Tour’s Official Digital Wealth Platform through 2027, highlighting the brand’s commitment to maintaining a strong presence within a targeted and affluent audience.
Nexo Expands Title Sponsorship as Race to Dubai Landmark
The Nexo Championship, since its inception, has functioned as a platform for innovative incentives and performance storytelling. The inaugural event in 2025 introduced the Course Record prize, a rolling award that starts at $10,000 and increases with each tournament until a course record is established, at which point the prize resets. Nexo expressed pride in the tournament’s achievements, noting it as the first event to offer a course record prize on the DP World Tour, and emphasized the importance of the partnership for achieving measurable long-term visibility among its target audience.
Trump International Golf Links to Host 2026 Championship
The 2026 Nexo Championship will once again feature Trump International Golf Links, recognized for its stunning scenery during the previous edition. Ben Cowen, Chief Tournament and Operations Officer at the DP World Tour, expressed satisfaction with the renewed agreement between Nexo and Trump International Golf Links, appreciating their ongoing commitment to the event. He highlighted the Old Course as one of the premier new links courses in the UK and noted its significance in the busy August schedule in Aberdeen, which will also include the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship.
Trump Family Praises Renewed Partnership
Eric F. Trump, representing the host venue, framed the ongoing partnership as a testament to Trump International’s ambitions. He stated, “We are greatly honoured to host the DP World Tour’s Nexo Championship at Trump International, Scotland – home of the greatest 36 holes in world golf.” He also expressed pride in the two championship courses crafted along the picturesque North Sea coast, asserting that their quality has earned them a place among world-class tournament venues. Donald Trump Jr. echoed these sentiments, expressing optimism for a remarkable year of championship golf in 2026, while thanking Nexo and its partners for their commitment.
Nexo Championship’s Evolution in the Race to Dubai
Initially introduced in 2020 as the Scottish Championship, the Nexo Championship has since evolved into a branded event as the DP World Tour and Nexo forged a meaningful long-term partnership at historically significant venues. In 2025, Grant Forrest from Scotland secured his second DP World Tour title at the Nexo Championship, finishing with an impressive score of eight under par, four strokes ahead of England’s Joe Dean, and earning a $10,000 bonus for establishing a new course record.
New Celebrity Pro-Am Event to Broaden Tournament Appeal
The 2026 iteration of the Nexo Championship will introduce a celebrity pro-am event on August 19, expanding the tournament’s reach beyond professional players and offering Nexo additional engagement opportunities with fans and invited guests.
Nexo’s Global Sports Strategy Continues to Grow
The Nexo Championship is a key component of a broader multi-sport strategy that aims to connect with “financially active, globally mobile” audiences. Nexo’s portfolio includes partnerships with the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, the Australian Open, and the ATP 500 Dallas Open, as well as serving as the Official Regional Digital Asset Partner for the Argentine National Football Team in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The firm views these partnerships as strategically designed for maximizing brand exposure and delivering premium experiences.

DP World Tour’s Global Showcase and Commitment to Innovation
The DP World Tour continues to present a global platform for showcasing talent, locations, and communities. The 2026 Global Schedule includes 42 tournaments across 25 countries, organized around five Global Swings, the Back 9, and the DP World Tour Play-Offs, featuring five Rolex Series events and four Majors. All of these contribute to the Race to Dubai Rankings and culminate in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
