It has been confirmed this morning that RTE Late Late Show presenter Patrick Kielty, former rugby players Johnny Sexton and Tommy Bowe and actor James Nesbitt will all take part in the Amgen Irish Open Pro Am at Royal County Down on September 11.
“Royal County Down is a gorgeous golf course,” said Nesbitt. “We have some of the most beautiful views in Northern Ireland. I’m really looking forward to playing the Amgen Irish Open Pro Am this September. I have played a couple in the past and it’s always a great day out. I always have great craic.”
Rory McIlroy will also tee it up at Royal County Down this September, where he will bid for a second Irish Open crown after claiming victory at The K Club in 2016.
Also joining McIlroy at the Amgen Irish Open is 2019 Open Championship winner Shane Lowry, three-time Major Champion Pádraig Harrington and two-time PGA TOUR winner Séamus Power. Further star names are still to be announced between now and September.
Royal County Down will host the Amgen Irish Open for the second time in its history from September 11-15 as the island of Ireland’s national open returns to Newcastle for the first time since 2015.
