It is known that McIlroy has a huge fan base in Ireland, which adds importance to his decision. The experienced golfer followed this tournament as a kid, enjoying every moment.

Im excited to be returning to The K Club for the Irish Open later this year, McIlroy said.

Rory McIlroy's performance in 2024
The 35-year-old was well on his way to glory at this competition last year, but unfortunately, a scenario that is not unknown to him happened last year.
However, Rory cannot forget the energy and support of the fans, convinced that the fans will be just as great this year. The experienced golfer is determined to have a different approach this year, as he wants to reach the trophy.
The support the Irish players receive is unmatched. The scenes at Royal County Down last year were unforgettable. While I unfortunately came up just short that week, the roars walking down the 18th hole and the energy from the crowd will stay with me forever.
The K Club has always been a fantastic venue, and Im sure the fans will be out in force again this year. I cant wait to be a part of it and to share another amazing week with everyone there.
