Donald Trump has 'invitation to Ireland' after Doonbeg resort confirmed as venue for 2026 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.""
""These are very significant events and the relationship with the United States underpins thousands and thousands of jobs in this country. And in that context, there's no question that President Trump would be welcome to Ireland in terms of the underpinning of that US-Ireland relationship." As in any relationship, "there will be differences in opinion", he said. "It's natural. We live in a democracy, and we facilitate protests, we facilitate people with disagreements.""
Trump International Golf Links Ireland in Doonbeg will host the 2026 Amgen Irish Open from September 10-13 on the DP World Tour schedule. The Trump Organisation expressed pride in hosting the event and described the course as remarkable, positioned to welcome the DP World Tour, its players and fans. Rory McIlroy won the most recent Irish Open after a dramatic finish noted for tense moments. Irish leadership emphasized the importance of major sporting events for tourism and jobs and said a visit by President Trump would be welcome given strong economic, cultural and familial links.
