Shane Lowry’s expected defence of his Irish Open title will take place in an earlier slot in the calendar in 2027 with the K Club event to be held from 1 to 4 July.<\/p>\n
September has been the usual month for the national event in recent seasons, but with Adare Manor hosting the Ryder Cup from 17-19 September, it has been pushed back and will now be the first event on the DP World Tour’s ‘Closing Swing’ series.<\/p>\n
The Kildare event will be held two weeks before the Open at St Andrew’s, potentially making it a destination for some of the game’s top players in a tune-up for the final major of the year.<\/p>\n
A number of events have returned to the DP World Tour schedule \u2013 the Hong Kong Open and Deutsche Bank Singapore Open, co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour, and the the Open de Portugal|Cascais-Lisboa, last played in 2020.<\/p>\n
The dates for the FedEx Open de France (9-12 September) and BMW PGA Championship (23-26 September) have also been changed due to the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n
The Irish Open has had home winners for its last two seasons, Lowry winning by a record 11 strokes at Doonbeg last weekend and Rory McIlroy triumphing at the K Club in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shane Lowry’s expected defence of his Irish Open title will take place in an earlier slot in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":772488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-772487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
