Ryder Cup stars including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Patrick Reed and Robert MacIntyre are among the big names confirmed for this year's Irish Open, to be held at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg from 9-13 September. McIlroy returns as defending champion, headlining a strong field that underlines the tournament's growing prestige on the DP World Tour calendar.

The field also features Irish favourites Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington, alongside Luke Donald, Tyrrell Hatton, Francesco Molinari, Sepp Straka and brothers Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard. Reed, the 2018 Masters champion who left LIV Golf in January, currently leads the Race to Dubai and has two DP World Tour wins this year, while MacIntyre, ranked 17th in the world, returns after missing recent action following The Open. US President Donald Trump is expected to attend as part of a visit to the Republic of Ireland.
