Who is playing the Amgen Irish Open?
McIlroy headlines the Irish contingent after winning at The K Club in 2025, while Lowry and Harrington return as former champions. McKibbin and Power add further home interest, with Mark Power, Max Kennedy, Liam Nolan, Cormac Sharvin and Thomas Higgins also in the Irish group.
Doonbeg has the feel of a festival bill written across the Atlantic dunes: McIlroy carrying the trophy, Rahm chasing a third Irish Open, Koepka bringing five Major titles and Lowry arriving to the sort of home galleries that can turn an ordinary Thursday shot into a Sunday roar. Patrick Reed, Tyrrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre, Joaquin Niemann and the Højgaard brothers deepen an unusually strong field.
It’s a tournament that means a lot to me.” — Pádraig Harrington
