Crypto wealth platform Nexo has renewed its title sponsorship for the Nexo Championship, a DP World Tour event returning to Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, from August 20-23, 2026. The tournament will feature a $3 million prize fund and serve as the final stop of the 2026 Closing Swing on the Race to Dubai.
The renewal marks the second consecutive year of Nexo's title partnership, building on the brand's broader sports sponsorship portfolio. Nexo Brand Marketing and Global Sponsorships Manager Konstantin Rangelov told Decrypt that the firm's branding will be "deeply embedded" throughout the event, appearing on tee-boxes, leaderboards, and broadcast-facing positions. "The Nexo Championship holds a special place for us—this was our first ever title partnership," Rangelov said, adding that the company's three-year deal with the DP World Tour made the decision to renew "an even bigger part of this cornerstone event."
Inaugurated in 2025, the tournament introduced the innovative Course Record presented by Nexo—a rolling, season-long prize starting at $10,000 per tournament that grows until a course record is broken. Last year's edition saw Scotland's Grant Forrest win with an eight-under-par total and collect the $10,000 bonus for a second-round 66. The 2026 event will add a celebrity pro-am on August 19, expanding fan engagement opportunities.
Nexo's golf sponsorship sits alongside a multi-sport strategy that includes partnerships with the Australian Open, Argentina's national soccer team, and the Audi Revolut Formula 1 team. The platform aims to reach "financially active, globally mobile" audiences, with golf offering a "distinct place" due to its precision-focused, affluent demographic.
Donald Trump Jr. praised the renewal, stating that "2026 is set to be another incredible year for championship golf at Trump International, Scotland," while DP World Tour officials emphasized the venue's quality as "one of the leading new links courses in the United Kingdom."
Nexo, which has processed over $403 billion globally since 2018, recently announced plans to re-enter the U.S. market through infrastructure provided by Bakkt after previous regulatory hurdles.
