2025 Irish Open Betting Prospects, Predictive Analysis, and Contender Selections
The Irish Open is set to return to The K Club (Palmer Course) in Straffan, County Kildare, Ireland, from September 4 to 7, marking the tournament's second hosting at this prestigious venue. This year's event is part of the DP World Tour's Back 9 sequence and promises to be an exciting spectacle for golf fans.
Rory McIlroy, the four-time major champion, is the favourite to win, according to BetMGM, with odds better than any other competitor. McIlroy last clinched the Amgen Irish Open in 2025 at The K Club, defeating Joakim Lagergren in a playoff after an eagle on the final hole forced extra holes. This victory marked his second Irish Open title, following his 2016 win.
Joining McIlroy in the competition are a host of talented golfers, including Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton. Lowry, who has odds of +1600 to win, according to BetMGM, has had a strong season, with top finishes at the British Masters and the Omega European Masters. Meanwhile, Hatton has shown consistent form, with a win at the Danish Golf Championship and top-10 finishes at several other tournaments.
Kristoffer Reitan, another contender, has impressed this season with wins at the Soudal Open and top-10 results at the Hainan Classic, Austrian Open, and BMW International Open. Reitan has also demonstrated resilience in strong winds, finishing third at the Nexo Championship.
