Nexo Championship returns to Trump International Golf Links as business and sports role grows

Nexo, the premier digital assets wealth platform, and the DP World Tour have confirmed that the Nexo Championship will return to Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire from August 20-23, 2026.

The tournament will serve as the concluding event of the DP World Tour’s Closing Swing – the final event of the first phase of the 2026 Race to Dubai.

The announcement consolidates a strong first half of 2026, where Nexo has paired aggressive market expansion with support for sports and competitions with global audiences.

As Cryptopolitan reported, Nexo Private clients have increased 136% since 2025, riding on interest from wealthy investors looking for structured, relationship-driven crypto strategies. In January, the firm also launched its zero-interest credit product, which allowed Bitcoin and Ethereum holders to borrow at 0% APR with fixed terms and no liquidation risk.

The Nexo Championship teases bigger return in 2026

Nexo first joined the DP World Tour as its Official Digital Wealth Platform under a deal running from 2025 through 2027. The 2025 edition launched the Course Record, which is a season-long rolling prize fund that starts at $10,000 per tournament and grows with each event until a course record is broken, before resetting for the next. It was the first prize of its kind on the DP World Tour.

Scotland’s Grant Forrest won the 2025 edition, finishing eight under par and four strokes clear of England’s Joe Dean. Forrest also picked up the $10,000 Course Record bonus after posting a second-round 66. The prize pool has since grown to $3 million.

This year’s edition of the Championship will take place at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire from August 20 to 23. It will also introduce a celebrity pro-am on Wednesday, August 19.

The championship is one part of Nexo’s sports strategy. The company has been building across different events and regions. It is the official partner of the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, official crypto partner of the Australian Open, title partner of the ATP 500 Dallas Open, and official regional digital asset partner of the Argentine National Football Team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Nexo shared that the Championship and the DP World Tour give it “concentrated, recurring exposure” to exactly the audience it is built for.

Ben Cowen, Chief Tournament and Operations Officer at the DP World Tour, expressed that he was pleased with the agreements  with both Nexo and Trump International Golf Links for the Nexo Championship.

Cowen also pointed out that the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship will also take place at Aberdeenshire on the Staysure Legends Tour at the start of August.

Eric Trump on ‘prestigious’ Aberdeenshire tournament

Trump International Golf Links has hosted the tournament since it first appeared on the Race to Dubai schedule in 2020, when it was known as the Scottish Championship. The course sits along the North Sea shoreline and has built a reputation as one of the top newer links courses in the UK.

Speaking on behalf of the host venue, Eric F. Trump stated that it is an honor to host the DP World Tour’s Nexo Championship at Trump International, Scotland.

“This is the second consecutive year we have hosted this prestigious event, and I am immensely proud of the two championship links courses that we have built along the spectacular North Sea shoreline,” Trump said, adding that both the Old Course and New Course will host world-class tournaments this August.

The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship on the Staysure Legends Tour will take place on the New Course at the start of August, before the Nexo Championship follows on the Old Course later in the month.
