Next year’s Amgen Irish Open will move to Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Co Clare from September 10-13, 2026, where defending champion Rory McIlroy will seek to thrill home fans just as he did recently at The K Club.

Rory McIlroy doesn’t do half measures, he’s all in. He is one of the game’s gutsiest and most swashbuckling players, a generational player, and today he landed a second Amgen Irish Open title in sensational style in front of the home crowds at The K Club.

Luke Donald has selected Ludvig Åberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm and Sepp Straka as his six Captain’s Picks to complete his 12-man European Team for the 2025 Ryder Cup in New York.

Grand Slam winner and five-time Major Champion Rory McIlroy will return to Jumeirah Golf Estates from November 13-16 to defend his DP World Tour Championship title at the season-ending Rolex Series event.

For all the late heroics of yesterday’s victor, the Championship Links at Royal County Down was also a winner, as one of the most traditional links layouts of them all more than stood up to the rigours of the modern game at the Amgen Irish Open.

Easy strides and smiles accompany birdies and eagles in Newcastle. Few spectator experiences can compare to watching Rory McIlroy, especially when he’s competing on home soil and in contention. The ‘Rory Roars’ that reverberate around Royal County Down this week have been like no other.
