Digital asset wealth platform Nexo has expanded its collaboration with the DP World Tour by launching a pioneering prize for golfers who set course records during tournaments. The initiative, named "Course Record Presented by Nexo," is a rolling incentive that rewards players for achieving and maintaining a course record through the end of a tournament.
Prize Structure and Rules
The prize debuts at the inaugural Nexo Championship, held August 7–10, 2025, at the newly opened Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland. According to the rules, the first player to set the course record that stands until the tournament’s conclusion receives a base prize starting at $10,000. Additionally, Nexo is offering $50,000 in NEXO Tokens for a record-breaking performance at the championship.
If no course record is set during the Nexo Championship, the prize rolls over to the next eligible event, increasing by $10,000 each time. Once a record is successfully set, the prize resets. In 2024, 10 course records were set on the DP World Tour, and six have already been achieved in 2025.
“The Course Record marks the first recurring prize of its kind in golf,” said Antoni Trenchev, Co-founder of Nexo. “It combines performance-driven incentives with the reach and upward potential of digital assets. This is a milestone in our shared vision with the DP World Tour for innovation in professional golf.” Ben Cowen, Chief Tournament and Operations Officer of the DP World Tour, added: “We’re always looking for new ways to celebrate and reward the incredible talent on the Tour. The Course Record Presented by Nexo does just that—and adds excitement for fans as players push harder to claim the prize.”
Additional Details and Background
The prize fund runs until the season concludes with the DP World Tour Championship, after which it resets for the following year. To qualify, tournaments must be played on a single course, complete at least 36 holes (in case of weather delays), and rounds with preferred lies are explicitly excluded. The Nexo Championship followed a grand opening gala on July 29, hosted by the Trump family and attended by Nexo’s founders. The event is expected to boost Scotland’s golf tourism, which contributes more than $400 million annually to the economy.
This initiative builds on Nexo’s expanding relationship with the DP World Tour. Last month, Nexo became an official marketing partner and the official digital wealth platform of the tour in a multi-year agreement running through 2027.
