Séamus Power predicts 'special' era for Irish Open after Horizon deal

Global biotechnology company Horizon on board for six years with the K Club to host in 2023, 2025, and 2027

Séamus Power: 'Looking back to when I was growing up, it was memorable going to the Irish Open. To have someone like Horizon for the next six years and a venue like the K Club is going to be very special for Irish golf and for Irish golfers.'

A long-term commitment from title sponsors Horizon has catapulted the Irish Open and the K Club back into the big time on Europe’s DP World Tour and now organisers are hopeful of attracting some serious PGA Tour talent to this summer’s event at Mount Juliet.

Global biotechnology company Horizon, already signed up to a six-year title sponsorship starting with the 2022 edition at Co. Kilkenny’s Mount Juliet this June 30, yesterday joined forces with the DP World Tour to underline the strength of its support by securing a return to Co. Kildare’s K Club in 2023, 2025 and 2027 as part of a deal that could mean a financial commitment worth US$50 million (€46.7m).
