Irish Open 2027 Dates Revealed As Tournament Returns To The K Club

The dates and venue for the 2027 Amgen Irish Open have been confirmed, with one of Ireland’s biggest golf tournaments returning to The K Club from Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th July 2027.

The DP World Tour has moved the Irish Open from its recent September position to the height of the summer, placing the tournament at the beginning of a major run of European golf that also includes the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open Championship at St Andrews.

Irish Open Hospitality at The K Club in 2027

The return to The K Club provides another opportunity to experience the Amgen Irish Open with premium hospitality through Eventmasters. Guests can combine a full day of top-level DP World Tour golf with first-class food, drink and hospitality facilities at one of Ireland’s best-known golfing venues.

Eventmasters offers hospitality for the Amgen Irish Open, with full details of the packages available for the 2027 tournament to follow. The four-day event provides an excellent option for corporate entertaining, client events or simply experiencing one of the highlights of the Irish sporting calendar in style.

When Is The 2027 Irish Open?

The 2027 Amgen Irish Open will take place from Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th July at The K Club in Straffan, County Kildare.

It represents a significant move in the calendar after the tournament was staged in September in recent seasons. The Irish Open will form part of the DP World Tour’s Closing Swing for one season before attention quickly turns towards two more major events on the European golfing calendar.

The Genesis Scottish Open will follow at The Renaissance Club from 8th to 11th July, before the 155th Open Championship takes place on the Old Course at St Andrews from 15th to 18th July.

Why Has The Irish Open Moved To July?

The change comes during a unique year for Irish golf, with the 2027 Ryder Cup taking place at Adare Manor from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th September.

With one of golf’s biggest team events heading to Ireland in September, the Irish Open has been brought forward to July. The change also places Ireland’s national open directly into an important summer stretch of the DP World Tour season.

Other major tournaments have also been moved around the Ryder Cup. The FedEx Open de France will take place from 9th to 12th September, while the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club has been scheduled for 23rd to 26th September.

The Irish Open Returns To The K Club

The K Club is no stranger to hosting some of the biggest events in golf and will stage the Irish Open again after hosting the tournament in both 2023 and 2025.

Its most recent edition delivered a memorable home victory when Rory McIlroy won the 2025 Irish Open at the County Kildare venue.

The K Club has also previously staged the Ryder Cup, hosting Europe’s victory over the United States in 2006, giving the resort a long association with elite-level tournament golf.

Its return as Irish Open host in 2027 forms part of a long-term arrangement with the DP World Tour that previously confirmed the venue for the 2023, 2025 and 2027 editions.

Shane Lowry Set To Defend Irish Open Crown

Shane Lowry will head into the 2027 tournament as defending champion after producing a dominant performance at Doonbeg in 2026.

The Irishman claimed his second Irish Open title with an 11-shot victory, adding another home success after famously winning the tournament as an amateur in 2009.

Lowry’s victory also followed McIlroy’s triumph at The K Club in 2025, giving the Irish Open consecutive home winners heading into its return to County Kildare.

With the dates now confirmed, attention will gradually turn towards the field for 2027 as the Irish Open prepares for its new summer position on the DP World Tour calendar.
