Irish Open getting new title sponsor

Dublin-based global biotechnology company Horizon Therapeutics will take over from Dubai Duty Free as title sponsors of the Irish Open in a six-year deal for the DP World Tour event that is also part of the strategic alliance with the PGA Tour. The tournament will "see a significant increase in prize money" to $6M, nearly double the $3.42M purse on offer in '21. The '22 edition, which tees of June 30, will "once again form part of the Open Qualifying Series, with the top three players not already exempt earning a coveted place in The 150th Open Championship on The Course at St Andrews two weeks later" (IRISH INDEPENDENT, 2/10).
