History
First played in 1927, the Irish Open is one of golf's older national championships and today ranks among the most warmly supported stops on the DP World Tour, roared on by some of the biggest and most knowledgeable galleries in the game. Its history is studded with great champions — Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer among them — and the event enjoyed a spirited revival after Rory McIlroy's foundation took it under its wing, McIlroy himself lifting the trophy on home soil in 2016.
For 2026 it heads to the wild Atlantic links of Doonbeg in County Clare, a dramatic Greg Norman-designed course that opened in 2002 and threads between towering dunes above a crescent beach. Links golf of this kind, exposed to the winds coming off the ocean, asks for imagination and nerve, and the setting on the Wild Atlantic Way is as spectacular as any in Europe. Expect a huge home crowd and, very likely, weather that plays its own part in the drama.
