President Donald Trump intends to travel to Ireland next month for the Irish Open golf tournament at his Doonbeg resort in County Clare, situated along the nation’s Atlantic shoreline, according to White House officials. The visit exemplifies Trump’s pattern of intermingling official duties with personal ventures that generate revenue for his family enterprise, which his sons currently manage on an operational level.
Trump will be in Ireland on September 12 and 13, during which he is scheduled to meet with U.S. embassy staff and corporate leaders before attending the tournament at Trump International Golf Links Ireland in Doonbeg. The White House did not initially authorize public disclosure of these details, but officials confirmed the itinerary on condition of anonymity.
This Irish excursion represents one of several golf-related ventures Trump has orchestrated through his properties. His New Jersey course in Bedminster hosted a LIV Golf tournament in August, while his South Florida property at Doral will present a PGA event, the Cadillac Championship, in March 2028. Trump has also expressed interest in bringing the British Open to his Turnberry resort in Scotland, which previously hosted the championship in 2009 before his acquisition.
The timing places Trump’s departure immediately after the Republican National Convention in Dallas on September 9 and 10, an unprecedented midterm event designed to energize GOP support ahead of November elections. Last summer, Trump criticized former President Barack Obama for using Air Force One to travel long distances for golf, a practice Trump now follows himself.
Trump maintains frequent access to golf courses he owns in Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia, though he has historically avoided extended vacations. “Don’t take vacations. What’s the point?” Trump wrote in his 2004 book “Think Like a Billionaire.”
