JP McManus wants to host the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, Co Limerick

Billionaire JP McManus has said his dream is to bring the 2026 Ryder Cup to his five-star Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort in Co Limerick, which is due to reopen in September after major reconstruction and refurbishment.

“The Ryder Cup is a very, very big ask, “ said Mr McManus, who bought the 800-acre resort property three years ago for €30m.

“We’d be delighted to host the Ryder Cup. It’s one of my long term dreams. The soonest possible time will be 2026 if we were to get it.
