Nexo Championship Returns to Aberdeenshire as Nexo Expands DP World Tour Footprint

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nexo, the premier digital assets wealth platform, and the DP World Tour have confirmed a renewed agreement that will see the Nexo Championship 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.

In 2025, Nexo joined the DP World Tour as its Official Digital Wealth Platform through 2027 before soon adding the title rights at the Nexo Championship. For its part, the Nexo Championship made its mark from day one: The inaugural 2025 edition launched the Course Record presented by Nexo – a season-long rolling prize fund, starting at $10,000 per tournament and growing with each event until a course record is broken, before resetting for the next.

"The Nexo Championship has become something we are genuinely proud of – a tournament that launched the first-ever course record prize on the DP World Tour, and a Scottish champion on home soil in its inaugural year. We are back because this partnership earns its place in our portfolio through measurable long-term view. The Nexo Championship and the DP World Tour give us concentrated, recurring exposure to exactly the audience Nexo is built for – and that is a combination worth renewing,” the Nexo team said of the sponsorship.

Ben Cowen, Chief Tournament and Operations Officer at the DP World Tour, said: “We are pleased to have reached this new agreement with both Nexo and Trump International Golf Links for the Nexo Championship to again be part of our global schedule, and we thank them for their continued commitment. The Trump International Old Course has earned a reputation as one of the leading new links courses in the United Kingdom, and it was a great backdrop for last year’s tournament. With the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship taking place on our Staysure Legends Tour at the start of August, it is set to be another fantastic month of golf in Aberdeen this summer.”

Speaking on behalf of the host venue, Eric F. Trump said: “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. This is the second consecutive year we have hosted this prestigious event, and I am immensely proud of the two championships link courses that we have built along the spectacular North Sea shoreline. It is testament to their quality and stature that both the Old Course and New Course will host world-class tournaments this August.”

Don Trump Jr. also commented on the renewal of the Nexo Championship: “2026 is set to be another incredible year for championship golf at Trump International, Scotland. A huge thank you to the title sponsor Nexo and all those committed to delivering this great event.”

As a tournament, the Nexo Championship first appeared on the Race to Dubai in 2020 as the Scottish Championship. Its evolution into a named Nexo staple reflects both the DP World Tour’s growing sponsorship ambitions and Nexo’s broader mission for consistent, long-term, and purposeful title partnerships at historically significant events – the most effective tools for building lasting brand recognition in premium markets.

At last year’s Nexo Championship, Scotland’s Grant Forrest claimed his second DP World Tour title, finishing eight under par and four strokes clear of England’s Joe Dean. Forrest also collected a $10,000 bonus as the inaugural winner of the Course Record presented by Nexo, set during a second-round 66. The 2026 edition will introduce a celebrity pro-am on Wednesday, August 19, broadening the tournament’s appeal beyond solely the professional field.

The Nexo Championship renewal is one expression of a deliberate, long-term approach to sport that Nexo is building across disciplines and continents. As 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 has constructed a portfolio designed for compounding returns – recurring, premium exposure and experiences for the financially active, globally mobile audiences it serves.
