The 2026 Irish Open golf features a total prize money fund of $6 million and is one of the richest DP World Tour events.
Taking place at Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg for the first time in 2026, the Irish Open has the biggest purse of all events outside of the Rolex Series of elevated status events.
It is one of the most prestigious national opens on the 2026 DP World Tour calendar with the large prize fund attracting a field including past champions Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry among the betting odds favourites.
The event, which is the latest tournament of the Back 9 stretch of the DP World Tour season, remains at the same $6 million total prize fund as 2025.
This year’s winner will receive $850,000, the same figure that Rory McIlroy earned when claiming the title at the K Club last year.
