Ryder Cup stars Patrick Reed, Robert MacIntyre, Francesco Molinari, and Sepp Straka have been confirmed for the 2026 Amgen Irish Open, with the quartet set to tee it up at Trump International Golf Links & Hotel from 10-13 September.
They will join a field that already includes defending champion Rory McIlroy, two-time major champion and two-time Irish Open champion Jon Rahm, as well as major champions and former Open winners Shane Lowry and Pádraig Harrington.
The field also features European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, alongside some of his squad members, Tyrrell Hatton, Rasmus Højgaard and Nicolai Højgaard. Rasmus was Irish Open champ at Royal County Down two years ago.
Reed, the 2018 Masters champion, currently leads the Race to Dubai on the DP World with two victories, a runner-up finish and two further top-ten results this season.
The American is a three-time Ryder Cup player and made his Irish Open debut at The K Club in 2025.
“I’m really looking forward to returning to the Amgen Irish Open and playing at Doonbeg for the first time. Ireland has such a rich golfing history and the fans always create an incredible atmosphere,” said Reed, a five-time DP World Tour winner.

MacIntyre was a key member of Europe’s victorious Ryder Cup teams in Rome in 2023 and New York in 2025. The Scot is currently World Number 17.
“The support from the Irish fans is among the best we experience anywhere in the world,” MacIntyre said. “I’m looking forward to competing on the west coast and hopefully giving them plenty to cheer about.”
Molinari, the 2018 Open Champion and a six-time DP World Tour winner, was recently appointed European vice captain by Luke Donald.
“I always enjoy coming back to Ireland,” said Molinari. “The Irish Open is a true test of golf and you have to adapt to whatever the conditions bring each day.”
Straka became the first Austrian to win on the PGA Tour with his win at the 2022 Honda Classic and his since added three more titles to his name.
The world number 26 will make his Irish Open debut at Doonbeg after representing Europe in the team’s victories in Rome and New York.
“Ireland has such a proud golfing tradition and it’s always special to compete in front of passionate golf fans. I’m looking forward to the challenge of the course and being part of what promises to be a great week,” said Straka.
