The KPMG Women’s Irish Open moves to a new date in 2023, three weeks earlier than this year's event. 

The 2023 Open returns to Dromoland Castle, host of this year's event, which returned to the Ladies European Tour (LET) Schedule after a 10-year absence. In 2023, it will run from August 31 to September 3.
