The DP World Tour heads to Ireland this week as Royal County Down hosts the Irish Open for the first time in almost a decade. Fourtime major winner and world no. 3 Rory McIlroy is in the field for his home event. He’s claimed two individual victories this year with wins at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour in January and the Wells Fargo Championship on the PGA TOUR in May. The Northern Irishman has won this event before after claiming victory at the K Club in 2016. Robert MacIntyre will also be in Ireland this week. The world no. 16 has risen 44 places from 60th at the start of the season. He’s claimed two victories this year with both being on the PGA TOUR at the RBC Canadian Open and on home soil at the Genesis Scottish Open in July. Both those wins, coupled with three other top tens, helped him reach the seasonending TOUR Championship at East Lake, finishing tied 16th. Shane Lowry will fancy his chances at his home tournament this week. He’s claimed seven top10s this year including a victory at the Zurich Classic playing alongside Rory McIlroy. Others to look out for are Nicolai Højgaard, Erik Van Rooyen, Ryan Fox and Luke Donald.
