Nexo, a leading platform for digital asset wealth management, along with the DP World Tour, has announced the return of the Nexo Championship to Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, scheduled for August 20-23, 2026. This tournament will mark the finale of the DP World Tour’s Closing Swing, which is the concluding segment of the 2026 Race to Dubai. The confirmation of the event highlights Nexo’s robust growth strategy in 2026, combining dynamic market expansion with sponsorship of sports events that attract global audiences. Recent reports indicate that Nexo’s Private client base has surged by 136% since 2025, driven by affluent investors eager for tailored, relationship-based cryptocurrency investment strategies. Earlier this year, the platform introduced a zero-interest credit product, enabling Bitcoin and Ethereum holders to borrow at a 0% APR without the risk of liquidation.
Nexo Championship Promises Exciting Developments in 2026
Nexo initially partnered with the DP World Tour as its Official Digital Wealth Platform through a contract spanning from 2025 to 2027. The inaugural event in 2025 introduced the Course Record incentive, a unique prize fund that starts at $10,000 per tournament and escalates until a new course record is established, at which point it resets. This innovative prize format was a first for the DP World Tour. In the 2025 tournament, Scotland’s Grant Forrest emerged victorious, finishing eight under par and four strokes ahead of England’s Joe Dean, and also earned the $10,000 Course Record bonus for his impressive second-round score of 66. The total prize pool has since expanded to $3 million. The upcoming Championship will again be hosted at Trump International Golf Links from August 20 to 23, and will feature a celebrity pro-am event on Wednesday, August 19.
Nexo’s Expanding Sports Partnerships
Nexo’s involvement in the Championship is part of a broader strategy to engage with various sports events and regions. The company is also an official partner of the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, the official cryptocurrency partner of the Australian Open, the title partner of the ATP 500 Dallas Open, and an official regional digital asset partner for the Argentine National Football Team in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Nexo has indicated that its partnership with the DP World Tour and the Championship provides it with “concentrated, recurring exposure” to its target audience.
Eric Trump on Hosting the Esteemed Aberdeenshire Tournament
Trump International Golf Links has been the venue for the tournament since its debut on the Race to Dubai schedule in 2020, initially branded as the Scottish Championship. Nestled along the picturesque North Sea coastline, the course has earned acclaim as one of the premier new links courses in the UK. Eric F. Trump, representing the host venue, expressed pride in hosting the Nexo Championship for the second consecutive year, calling it a prestigious event. He highlighted the two championship links courses built along the stunning North Sea shoreline, emphasizing that both the Old Course and New Course will host world-class competitions this August. Additionally, the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship will take place on the New Course at the beginning of August, leading up to the Nexo Championship on the Old Course later in the month.
