With just under two months to go to this year’s Irish Open at Ballyliffin Golf Club, the event sponsors, Dubai Duty Free have agreed a four year extension, taking the partnership through to 2022.
The historic tournament has reached new heights since Dubai Duty Free began its title sponsorship in 2015, with the prize fund increasing year-on-year from €2.5 million to a record $7 million last year following its inauguration as one of the European Tour’s eight Rolex Series events.
