SHANE LOWRY’S PARTICIPATION has been confirmed at the 2025 Irish Open at The K Club.
Lowry will tee up at the Kildare venue for next year’s tournament which takes place 4-7 September.
This year’s tournament at Royal County Down saw Lowry finish in a tie for 12th, eight shots behind winner Rasmus Hojgaard, the Dane who beat Rory McIlroy to the title by one stroke.
He previously had top ten finishes at the tournament, tied ninth in 2022 and tied third in 2023, just two shots off Swedish winner Vincent Norrman on that occasion.
2009 winner Lowry will compete in an event that takes place three weeks before the Ryder Cup will be held in New York at the Bethpage Black Course on 26-28 September.
It will mark the third time that the Irish Open will be held at The K Club, after the 2016 tournament where McIlroy won by three shots, and two years ago when Norrman triumphed.
The Irish Open is held a week before the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, followed by the Open De France, which leads into the Ryder Cup.
All blacks second row doesn’t look overly strong…retallic and whitelock haven’t been replaced. Long term they look like they lack deph at scrum half..perenara a good player but coming to end of career.
@Sean: fair point re 2nd row..but Cam Roigard has potential to exceed even Smith & TJ at scrum half..
New zealand by 25
