New title sponsor to be unveiled for Irish Open

After five years, the Irish Open will have a new title sponsor for the 2015 event, commencing on May 28 at Royal County Down.

A European Tour source hinted the new sponsor is a well-known Ireland ‘name brand’. It will be officially unveiled this Friday.

It will be the first occasion in two years — since communications giant ‘3’ backed the event from 2008-10 — that Ireland’s premier golfing event will have an official main sponsor.
