The K Club to host The Irish Open for three of the next five years

The K Club will host the Horizon Irish Open in 2023, 2025 and 2027.

The announcement made today at the Straffan venue is part of a long-term deal with the DP World Tour.

The Kildare resort's second Arnold Palmer-designed course, Palmer South, will also play host to the Challenge Tour's Irish Challenge in July, as well as in 2024 and 2026.

Horizon Therapeutics signed a six-year title sponsorship deal in February to host the Irish Open.

This year's Horizon Irish Open will take place at Mount Juliet from June 30 to July 3.

Next year will be only the second time the Irish Open will be hosted by the K Club, having previously done so in 2016 when Rory McIlroy claimed victory in dramatic fashion.

The K Club also hosted the Ryder Cup in 2006 as well as hosting the European Open for 16 years.

Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers said: "Ireland has a rich tradition in producing world-class golfing talent and I am particularly delighted to see so many Irish golfers in the field for the 2022 tournament.

"The K Club will be the perfect host for the spectators present and for an international audience, following play from around the world."
