Who are the top-rated players at Irish Open 2025? Field ft. Rory McIlroy explored

After a successful European Masters outing in Switzerland, the DP World Tour is traveling to Ireland for the 2025 Amgen Irish Open. The event is set to tee off on Thursday, September 4 at The K Club in Straffan. The event will feature a stacked 156-player field headlined by Official World Golf Ranking No.2 Rory McIlroy.

The Irish Open is the 34th event on the 2025 DP World Tour schedule. The contest, falling a week ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club in Surrey, will see McIlroy return to the playing field after two weeks off post the PGA Tour FedExCup playoffs. Coming off a T23 finish at the Tour Championship, the Grand Slam winner will be eyeing a big result this weekend.

It is pertinent to note that McIlroy won the Irish Open in 2016 when the event was first played at The K Club. Interestingly, the 36-year-old came close to winning it again last year at the Royal County Down. However, he failed to clinch the title by a stroke and watched Rasmus Hojgaard walk away as the champion. Notably, the Danish champion is not returning this year to defend his title.

McIlroy will also have his European Ryder Cup teammate Shane Lowry teeing up alongside him. The 38-year-old Irishman, who won the Irish Open as an amateur in 2009, will arrive at the contest on the back of a T13 finish at the Tour Championship. The World No. 23 golfer is among the favorites to win the contest. It is pertinent to note that the Irish duo will be joined by LIV Golf’s Tyrrell Hatton.

Past Irish Open champion Jon Rahm’s LIV teammate Hatton arrives at the contest after finishing 26th in the Saudi-backed circuit’s season-long standings. The World No.25 golfer starts as the third of three top-50 golfers competing at the European Tour event.

The Englishman, along with the two local stars, will take on a field featuring the likes of Brooks Koepka, Luke Donald, Padraig Harrington, and Adrian Meronk, among others, for the winner’s paycheck from the event’s $6,000,000 purse.
