Staysure PGA Seniors Championship heading back to Aberdeen venue - but for different test
The New Course at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire is set to stage its first big professional event - a year after it was officially opened by US President Donald Trump.
The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship hosted by Colin Montgomerie will mark a significant milestone when it takes place at the Balmedie venue on 6-9 August.
The event has been played on what is now called the Old Course at the Trump-owned resort over the past three years. But, after it was opened during last year’s tournament, it is now being switched to the equally spectacular New Course.
The PGA Seniors Championship will be part of a 2026 global Legends Tour schedule, with Staysure having become the circuit’s new title sponsor.
Featuring the likes of Montgomerie, Paul Lawrie, Stephen Gallacher and David Drysdale, events will be staged across the UK and Ireland, Europe, America, the Caribbean and Asia.
The schedule also includes a second staging of the ISPS HANDA Senior Open at Gleneagles, where Darren Clarke triumphed in 2022.
Other highlights include a co-sanctioned PGA Tour Champions event in Portugal at the end of July that will see many global stars playing at the Els Club in Vilamoura.
“The Staysure Legends Tour represents the very best of the game’s experience and competitive spirit,” said Ryan Howsam, chairman of both Staysure and the Staysure Legends Tour.
Slot left open on DP World Tour
“Aligning Staysure with the tour allows us to support a global sporting platform built on trust, quality and long-term ambition. The strengthened schedule and new identity reflect the direction of travel and the opportunities ahead.”
A slot has been left open on the DP World Tour at the end of August, with an event at Trump International Golf Links expected to be announced in the near future.
It follows the success of the inaugural Nexo Championship last year, when Grant Forrest landed a home victory and was congratulated by Trump in a video call almost straight afterwards.

Raymond Floyd
Do you know the name of a golfer who dominated four decades, became the oldest winner of a U.S. Open in his time, and battled legends like Jack Nicklaus, yet never claimed The Open Championship? Let’s dive into the remarkable journey of Raymond Floyd, a name synonymous with tenacity and brilliance on the golf course. After turning professional in 1961, Floyd quickly made his mark, securing his first PGA Tour victory in 1963 at the St. Petersburg Open at just 20 years old. That win was just the beginning of a career spanning over 60 global victories, including four coveted major championships. But Floyd's story is not just about trophies—it’s about resilience, heartbreak, and unwavering passion.His first major triumph came in 1969 at the PGA Championship, and he stunned the golf world again in 1976 by winning The Masters in commanding fashion, leading from start to finish. In 1982, Floyd etched his name into the history books at the PGA Championship with an unforgettable opening round of 63, a record that held for decades. Four years later, at the age of 43, he became the oldest U.S. Open champion of his time, outlasting Greg Norman with a masterful final-round 66. Yet, the elusive Open Championship at St. Andrews in 1978 remained a dream unfulfilled, as he narrowly missed victory, finishing second behind Nicklaus.Floyd’s career wasn’t without its share of heartbreaks. At the 1990 Masters, a playoff loss to Nick Faldo after a misjudged 7-iron into the water left Floyd calling it "the most devastating moment" of his career. Despite such setbacks, his achievements are unparalleled. Floyd is one of the few golfers to win PGA Tour events across four decades, his final triumph coming at the Doral-Ryder Open in 1992 at age 49. Remarkably, he also became the first to win on both the PGA and Senior Tours in the same year.Floyd's legendary short game was the stuff of golf folklore. His ability to chip under pressure was unrivaled, highlighted by his iconic birdie chip that defeated Jack Nicklaus in a sudden-death playoff at the 1980 Doral-Eastern Open. Beyond his skill, Floyd’s competitive spirit kept him playing at the highest levels even into his 50s, earning 14 Senior Tour victories, including four senior majors.Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989, Floyd also left his mark on the Ryder Cup, representing the U.S. eight times and captaining the team in 1989. His bold proclamation of his squad as "The 12 greatest players in the world" stirred emotions and remains part of Ryder Cup lore. Floyd officially retired from competitive golf in 2010 but left behind a legacy of excellence, grit, and an insatiable love for the game.Raymond Floyd’s story isn’t just a tale of trophies but a testament to perseverance and an unyielding desire to compete. His name stands among the giants of golf, a beacon for anyone chasing greatness in any field.
