THE 2026 Amgen Irish Open is set to be staged at a Co Clare links course for the second time in seven years.

The DP World Tour confirmed this Wednesday that there is a new venue for the Amgen Irish Open in 2026, which will be played at Trump International Golf Links, Doonbeg, for the first time from September 10-13.

Opened in 2002, the Doonbeg resort was bought by US President Trump in 2014.

The tournament, which was won in spectacular fashion by Rory McIlroy at the K Club last week, will again form part of the ‘Back 9’.

2026 will be the second time in seven years that the tournament will be played in Co Clare as Lahinch Golf Club hosted the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in 2019.

The event was won by Major winner John Rahm.

Eric Trump, executive vice president of The Trump Organisation and son of the US President, said they are honoured to host the tournament: "We are incredibly proud that Trump Ireland has been chosen to host the 2026 Amgen Irish Open.

"This tournament is one of the most celebrated events in golf, and bringing it to Trump Ireland is a true testament to the standard of excellence that's upheld at this property.

"The course is absolutely remarkable, and we are honoured to welcome the DP World Tour, its players, and fans from across the globe to experience the beauty and challenge of our championship links."
