The timing could hardly have been better.
Just days after Rory McIlroy achieved sporting immortality at Augusta National, the competition where he made history 20 years earlier got underway.
Fittingly, another teenager won the 2025 West of Ireland Championship at County Sligo Golf Club.
Dylan Holmes battled biblical conditions to defeat veteran Colm Campbell 2 & 1 in an unforgettable final.
At 18, Holmes became the youngest tournament winner since a 16-year-old McIlroy retained his title in 2006. It was the perfect birthday present for his father, Karl, a PGA professional.
Perhaps we’ll soon see Holmes wearing the Green Jacket.
Very few tournaments become instant classics.
The 2025 Irish Men’s Amateur Open at Seapoint Golf Links was one of them.
Stuart Grehan began the final day tied for fourth, four shots behind the joint leaders, Lewy Hayward and Gerard Dunne.
But Grehan produced a near-perfect 66 to take longtime frontrunner Hayward to what proved to be an epic playoff.
Eventually, after three more nail-biting holes, the hometown hero prevailed on the 10th green to claim the title.
Fun fact:
Seapoint is one of six world-class championship links you can play on a golf tour along Ireland’s East Coast in 2026.
James Kingston produced a masterful final round performance at Mount Juliet to clinch the 2025 OFX Irish Legends by the narrowest of margins.
Incredibly, the South African birdied five of the last six holes to card a decisive 66 for an overall 12-under-par score, which left him one clear of Peter Baker, Keith Horne and Darren Fichardt.
Following a second-round 72, Kingston started the day with a mountain to climb.
But he clawed his way back into contention through inch-perfect iron work. Ahead of the par-4 18th hole, such was the top-heavy leaderboard, a playoff seemed unavoidable.
However, only Kingston could muster the required birdie, and the title was his.
You’ll find the near-mythical Baltray on the same sublime terrain as Seapoint.
For the purists, the championship links at County Louth Golf Club is Ireland’s ultimate hidden gem course.
It’s also the home of the 2025 East of Ireland Amateur Open.
The illustrious stroke-play tournament (won by Darren Clarke in 1989) runs from May 30 -June 1.
Fun fact:
Shane Lowry bagged the 2009 Irish Open at Baltray.
After attracting a record-breaking 37,000 fans last year, the KPMG Women’s Irish Open returns to Carton House, Fairmont in 2025.
Once again, Ireland’s blue-ribbon ladies’ golf tournament will unfold at the pristine O’Meara Course.
Certainly, this year’s Women’s Irish Open (July 3-6) has much to live up to.
Annabel Dimmock needed nerves of steel to overcome Pauline Roussin-Bouchard in a heart-stopping playoff and seal the 2024 event.
Instant classic.
Whoever triumphs at Carton House can take the winning feeling to the AIG Women’s British Open at Royal Porthcawl.
Welcome to the main event of the 2025 golf tournaments in Ireland.
This year, all roads lead to The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush.
You probably still remember the last battle for the Claret Jug on the legendary Dunluce Links.
In 2019, Shane Lowry entered Irish sporting folklore when he clinched the world’s oldest major with a stunning performance.
Rest assured, the party proved equally epic.
From July 17-20, The Open returns to Northern Ireland for just the third time.
Can Lowry bottle lightning twice?
Or will defending champion Xander Schauffele repeat his antics from Royal Troon?
Pure box office.

The South of Ireland Amateur Open dates back to 1895.
In 2025, as it has for all but 5 years since then, the Championship will be played at Lahinch Golf Club.
Elite up-and-comers will flock to County Clare to contest this year’s ‘South’ from July 23-27.
They have the chance to join Paul McGinley and Graeme McDowell on the storied roll of honour.
Then, the team at Lahinch will continue their preparations for hosting the 2026 Walker Cup.
Exciting times in the sparkling Southwest.
It’ll be tough to top last year’s Irish Open.
Sure, it ended in heartbreak for the prodigal son.
But Rasmus Hojgaard’s epic 1-shot victory over Rory McIlroy at Royal County Down ranks among the highlights of the 2024 European Tour.
Interestingly, Rory won the 2016 equivalent at this year’s world-famous venue.
The K Club – at the Palmer North – will host the 2025 Amgen Irish Open from September 4-7.
Notably, the championship parkland course also staged the 2006 Ryder Cup.
And it will welcome the Irish Open again in 2027.
Meanwhile, The Island Golf Club is the current frontrunner for 2026.
Finally, of all Ireland’s golf tournaments in 2025, this one will likely deliver the most thrilling start.
Both for competitors and spectators.
The North of Ireland Open returns to Portstewart Golf Club from September 18-20.
And its Strand Course boasts arguably the greatest opening hole in the game.
From an elevated tee, it plunges downhill and doglegs right to the heaving Atlantic.
Tubber Patrick sets the stage for a remarkable round through the dunescape called Thirsty Hollow.
Needless to say, Portstewart is a must-play on any golf trip to Northern Ireland.
