JON Rahm will return to the Amgen Irish Open at Doonbeg this September 10th to 13th.
The former World Number One and two-time Major Champion has won the Amgen Irish Open on two previous occasions, having claimed victory at Portstewart Golf Club in 2017 and Lahinch Golf Club in 2019.
The 31-year-old Spaniard now returns to the West Coast for the 2026 edition at Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Doonbeg in County Clare, bringing him back to the region where he last lifted the trophy as he targets a third national open title on the island of Ireland.
On the upcoming event, the Spaniard stated “I’m really looking forward to getting back to Ireland for the Amgen Irish Open. Winning this tournament twice means a lot to me and it’s always a place I enjoy playing. The courses, the fans and the challenge of links golf make it a special week”, the 10 time DP World Tour winner added.
Rahm secured a dominant six-shot win for his maiden DP World Tour title at Portstewart 9 years ago, closing with a 65 to complete a commanding victory. In Lahinch 2 years later, he added a second Irish triumph where a final-round 62 featuring eight birdies and an eagle saw him overturn a tie for ninth and finish two shots clear of Andy Sullivan and Bernd Wiesberger.
Rahm, who was joint runner up in the US PGA Championship at Aronimink last month, will be part of a strong contingent of players from Team Europe playing in this year’s Irish Open. He joins Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, Rasmus Højgaard, and their Captain Luke Donald, all of whom have been confirmed so far along with Ireland’s Pádraig Harrington and Séamus Power who round out the esteemed roster.
The Amgen Irish Open once again assumes a key position on the DP World Tour’s Global Schedule as part of the Back 9, which encompasses nine of the Tour’s most historic tournaments and national opens.
Former champions of the event include Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Harrington, Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy, Colin Montgomerie, José María Olazábal, Rahm and Sam Torrance.
