Dabron was quizzed about Turnberry on the official launch of this yr’s Open, which is able to return to Royal Portrush in July for the primary time since 2019 and would be the largest sporting occasion ever staged in Northern Eire.
“The final time we had been there, I feel we had simply over 120,000 folks,” he stated. “We have simply introduced that this summer season we’ll welcome almost 280,000 folks right here.”
This yr’s Open is already a sellout, with 278,000 tickets bought and Dabron revealed that there will likely be some adjustments from the format from six years in the past and to deal with the 40,000 improve in attendance from their final go to.
Turnberry, in the meantime, has been given £200m of enhancements since being purchased by Trump in 2014.
“A contemporary Open Championship is a large-scale occasion,” Dabron added. “What we all know for positive is the golf course is good, so sooner or later we would like to be again there.
“We constantly work with our venues and their house owners and operators to speak about what an Open Championship calls for and the way we work with them to carry that to life.”
