Golf will once again take centre stage when the Nexo Championship returns to Aberdeenshire later this summer.
The Nexo Championship
A field of home favourites and global stars will tee it up at Trump International Golf Links from August 20-23, for four days of unmissable action on the coast.
Scotland’s own Grant Forrest, who prevailed by four strokes over England’s Joe Dean last year, will return to defend his crown, joined by three-time DP World Tour winner Ewen Ferguson and Aberdeen local David Law.
The trio, in front of their home crowd, will be among those battling it out for the title, as well as crucial Ranking points – the Nexo Championship will conclude the DP World Tour’s Closing Swing, the fifth and final Global Swing on the 2026 Race to Dubai.

Alongside an epic finale, fans can also see some of their favourite sporting stars up close, thanks to a newly introduced Celebrity Pro-Am.
The inaugural event will be held on Wednesday August 19, and welcome talent from a range of different sports, including football, tennis, rugby and curling.
Scottish football internationals Gordon Strachan, Scott Brown, Charlie Mulgrew, Jim Leighton, James McArthur, Steven Fletcher and John Hewitt have already been announced, alongside renowned tennis coach Judy Murray and seven-time major doubles champion Jamie Murray.
The star-studded group will switch the pitch and court, respectively, for the links, adding to the atmosphere. More names are soon to be announced, for what is shaping up to be the perfect opener for an unforgettable week in Aberdeen.
The Nexo Championship returned to the DP World Tour’s schedule in 2025 following a five-year hiatus, with Nexo, the premier digital assets wealth platform, reinforcing its broader mission of supporting historically significant events by signing on as title partner. This year’s edition will include an increased prize fund of $3 million, with 3,500 Race to Dubai points on offer.
