McIlroy set for Irish Open at Carton House

Rory McIlroy will compete at next year’s rescheduled Irish Open at Carton House.

The dates and venue has yet to be officially confirmed but the national showpiece is set to swap slots with the BMW International Open and move forward to the week after the US Open at Pinehurst.

But McIlroy, competing in the BMW Masters in Shanghai, let slip that the event looks set for the Kildare venue, telling reporters: “I’ve heard it’s going back to Carton House.”
