The Irish Open will be held at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg from 9-13 September, featuring a prominent field of international competitors. Defending champion Rory McIlroy headlines the event alongside two-time major winner John Rahm. The tournament also includes home competitors Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington, as well as European Tour regulars Luke Donald, Tyrrell Hatton, and twin brothers Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard.
American Patrick Reed, a former Masters champion from 2018, will compete in the event while leading the Race to Dubai standings. Reed has recorded two victories on the DP World Tour this year following his departure from LIV Golf in January. The 36-year-old is currently eligible to return to the PGA Tour this month.
Scottish player Robert MacIntyre, ranked 17th in the world, will participate after a recent appearance at the Open championship where he finished in a tie for 28th. The 30-year-old had indicated plans to return to the United States for the remainder of the PGA Tour season this month before competing in subsequent events. Additional competitors include Francesco Molinari and Sepp Straka.
The Irish Open is scheduled one week before the PGA Championship at Wentworth, which takes place next month. Reports indicate that US President Donald Trump is expected to attend the tournament as part of an official visit to the Republic of Ireland.
