2020 Irish Open postponed: 'Everyone’s health is our only concern'

This year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, set for the end of May at Mount Juliet, has become the last sporting event to be postponed due to the threat of the Covid-19 coronavirus.

The postponement of the €7.87m tournament came via an announcement from the European Tour on Monday afternoon and was met with disappointment but complete understanding by this year’s Irish Open host Graeme McDowell.
