Jon Rahm has been announced as part of the field for the Irish Open at Doonbeg.
Rahm paid all of his outstanding fines related to joining LIV Golf to return to the DP World Tour and must play in five events in 2026 in order to stay eligible for the Ryder Cup, which also takes place in Ireland at Adare Manor in 2027.
The Spaniard is a two-time Irish Open champion, having won his first DP World Tour title in 2017 at Portstewart and at Lahnich in 2019, and will look to claim his third at the event between September 10-13 live on Sky Sports Golf.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Ireland for the Amgen Irish Open,” said Rahm, a 10-time DP World Tour winner.
“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.”
