Former Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey has been added to the list of names taking part in this year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Pro-Am, which takes place on Wednesday, May 27th, ahead of the second Rolex Series event of the 2020 Race to Dubai.

Carey has been joined also by Today FM broadcaster and comedian Dermot Whelan who was part of the Inside The Ropes event we were part of with the European Tour back in December.

Paul O’Connell will also be part of the line-up with more names to be added in the coming weeks.

The tournament, which returns to Mount Juliet Estate, Co. Kilkenny from May 27-31, will be hosted by the Ryder Cup star and Major winner, Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell.

“I’m a member at Mount Juliet Estate and it’s a beautiful course,” said Carey.

“Being asked to play amongst the professionals in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Pro-Am is a huge honour and a challenge but something I am very much looking forward to.”

The field for the tournament proper already includes World Number One Rory McIlroy, reigning Open Champion Shane Lowry and two-time Dubai Duty Free Irish Open winner Jon Rahm.
