Donald Trump golf course blocked from hosting The Open despite 'spending huge amount'

Trump's golfing resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, has received considerable investment from the former President in order to try and get the course in a position to host The Open once more. But organisers are concerned about potential protests against Trump, and have therefore opted to blacklist it.
