The Irish Challenge is a golf tournament on the Challenge Tour which has been played since 2015.
History
The tournament was formed in 2015, hosted at Mount Wolseley Hotel Spa and Golf Resort in County Carlow. It was first time the Challenge Tour had staged an event in Ireland since 2009.[1][2] The first event was played in October and was won by Tom Murray who beat Nino Bertasio at the second hole of a sudden-death playoff, winning the first prize of €28,800.[3]
The 2019 event was shortened to 54 holes after the final was abandoned because of heavy rain.[4] Emilio Cuartero and Oscar Lengdén were tied for the lead after three rounds and had a playoff at the par-3 17th hole. Cuartero won with a birdie at the third extra hole.[5]
The 2020 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[6] but returned in 2021 and was held at Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links.[7]
In April 2022, it was announced that The K Club would host the event as part of an agreement, which is also involved hosting the Irish Open. The K Club would host the Irish Challenge in 2023, 2024 and 2026.[8]
