September date confirmed for 2023 Irish Open

The Horizon Irish Open will have a new date next year when it's held from September 7-10 at the K-Club as part of the DP World Tour's International Schedule.

While the move to the K-Club had already been announced, the September date will come as a boon to organisers who will be confident in attracting a strong field.

The 2023 Irish Open comes three weeks ahead of the Ryder Cup and will offer a chance for the members of the US and European teams to tune up their game.

Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Séamus Power have already committed to the event.

Paul Heery, General Manager of The K Club, said: "The K Club has always had a strong reputation as a venue for hosting successful, international golf events. Now, with the guidance and fresh energy from new ownership, we are delighted to be back hosting tournaments of this calibre.

"Supporting the golfing community in Ireland is an extremely important focus for us at The K Club. Our team is incredibly proud to be making this long-term commitment to Irish golf which will see us host six years of high-profile tournaments in Ireland.

"The new date for the Horizon Irish Open will attract a stronger field of golfers, resulting in a more exciting and engaging event for both competitors and followers.

"We very much look forward to welcoming players from all over the world to our Arnold Palmer designed courses and watching the dramatic action unfold on the fairways."
