Trump International Golf Resort in Doonbeg has not received confirmation that the US President will attend the Amgen Irish Open in September.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump has visited the golf resort a number of times since the Trump Organization acquired the property in Co Clare in 2014, including on an official trip to Ireland during his first presidential term in 2019.<\/p>\n
Speculation has been rife that he will return to Doonbeg this autumn since the links course was announced as the venue for the Amgen Irish Open.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a media briefing, General Manager Joe Russell said: “We have no confirmation that he is coming.<\/p>\n
“We know that he wants to come, but no confirmation yet that he will be here.”<\/p>\n
Mr Russell said the tournament will be great for the local community and will provide “economic stimulus for the region”.<\/p>\n
There are 784 people living in Doonbeg according to the latest census, and 305 people work in the Trump International resort during peak season.<\/p>\n
The DP World Tour said it is planning for all scenarios and will be prepared should the US President attend the event.<\/p>\n
“It will be disruptive but that goes with the territory,” said Paul Gillmon, Head of Championships, DP World Tour.<\/p>\n
The organisers are expecting an attendance of over 70,000 at this year’s Irish Open.<\/p>\n
They are hoping to create a “positive impact” for the local community and minimise disruption.<\/p>\n
It was confirmed today that Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald will compete alongside Team Europe comrades Tyrrell Hatton, Rasmussen Hojgaard and twin brother Nicolai.<\/p>\n
The field also features defending champion Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n
