Three-time Major Champion Pádraig Harrington and PGA TOUR winner Séamus Power have confirmed they will be joining Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry at the 2025 Amgen Irish Open.

Three-time Major Champion Harrington and PGA TOUR winner Power - both golf ambassadors for Title Partner Amgen - will join Major winners McIlroy and Lowry as the prestigious national open returns to The K Club from September 4-7.

Harrington, one of Ireland’s most celebrated golfers, remains a fan favourite wherever he plays, and his return to The K Club is set to be a highlight of the week.

The 52-year-old, who has amassed 15 DP World Tour titles alongside his trio of Major victories, will be part of a star-studded field in Co. Kildare.

The 2007 Irish Open champion knows exactly what it takes to win in front of the passionate home crowds and will be relishing the opportunity to contend once again.

Having also been part of Team Europe’s Ryder Cup victory at The K Club in 2006, Harrington is looking forward to another special week at the iconic venue.

"Playing at home is always a privilege, and the Amgen Irish Open is a tournament that means a great deal to me,” he said.

“The atmosphere at The K Club is always fantastic, and I know the Irish fans will come out in force once again. It’s an event where you feel the energy of the crowd with every shot, and their support can really motivate you.

“I’ve been fortunate to win this tournament before, and I’d love nothing more than to have another run at the title.

The K Club is a venue that brings back great memories for me and it’s the kind of course that produces exciting finishes. It’s going to be a brilliant week of golf, and I’m really looking forward to being part of it."

Joining him in the field is fellow Irishman Power, a two-time winner on the PGA TOUR who has become one of Ireland’s most consistent performers on the global stage.

The Waterford native will be eager to put on a show for the home fans as he seeks to add his name to the distinguished list of Amgen Irish Open champions.

"The Irish Open is a tournament I’ve always wanted to play well in and I can’t wait to be back,” he said. “The K Club is a brilliant venue, and I know the crowds will create an amazing atmosphere. It’s going to be a great week, and I’m really looking forward to it.

“Being based over in America, I cherish the opportunity to come home and compete, so this week really is a highlight of my year.”

The 2025 Amgen Irish Open promises to be another unforgettable edition, as the DP World Tour’s best players take on the challenge of The K Club’s Palmer North Course.

Having hosted the Ryder Cup and multiple Irish Opens, the renowned venue is no stranger to dramatic finishes, and fans can expect plenty of excitement when the tournament returns in September.

Last year, Denmark’s Rasmus Højgaard produced a stunning final-round performance to claim his maiden Amgen Irish Open title, edging out a strong field in a dramatic Sunday finish.

The 23-year-old secured victory with a series of clutch birdies on the closing holes, edging out home favourite Rory McIlroy at Royal County Down.

Højgaard’s triumph further cemented his status as one of Europe’s brightest young talents, and his name now sits alongside some of the biggest stars in the history of Ireland’s national open.
