The addition of Charley Hull to the field will take the event to a new level this year. Watching her play alongside Leona Maguire and the new Solheim Cup captain, Anna Nordqvist, will be incredible. It's been fantastic to watch the event go from strength to strength and witness the continued rise of female golf in Ireland.

The 2024 ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s Irish Open, held over four days in Carton House, welcomed almost 40,000 spectators, with the tournament attendance seeing a marked increase of 46% since ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø came on board as title sponsor in 2022, further boosting the visibility of the Women’s Irish Open to combined audiences of over 100 million.
Analysis carried out by ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø showed that the 2024 tournament alone contributed an estimated â‚�7 million in direct spending, across food, drink, accommodation, event suppliers, rental activities, construction, and utilities, further bolstering the wider Irish economy with an estimated â‚�4.6 million in economic output.
ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø has a long and proud heritage in the game of golf, both in Ireland and abroad, having been the title sponsor of the ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s PGA Championship since 2015, one of five majors in the women’s golf calendar, along with its ongoing support of Irish golfer Leona Maguire.
ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø is also the title sponsor of the ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Irish Kids Golf Tour, which is open to girls and boys aged 6 to 13 years old and features some of the best young golfers in Ireland.
The tournament’s resurgence has been remarkable, and we are delighted to see its positive impact extend beyond the golf course, into the surrounding communities.
Last year's champion
England’s Annabel Dimmock was the winner of the 2024 ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s Irish Open.
Annabel has an incredible story, in just her eighth tournament back since recovering from a career-threatening thumb injury, she claimed her second LET title, beating Pauline Roussin-Bouchard on the second playoff hole, the third playoff in a row at the Irish Open.
Annabel commented after her triumph ‘’This is brilliant to do it in Ireland. This feels really good. I am not going to lie. The fans out there, the people watching, have been amazing to me this week, and it was what I needed.''
The ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s Irish Open continues to be one of the shining lights of the LET schedule. There were more than 30,000 spectators that streamed through the gates throughout the week, with Saturday bringing a record one-day attendance of over 12,000 spectators.

The ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Irish Kids Golf Tour is a nationwide competition played across some of Ireland’s top golf courses in Leinster, Ulster, Connacht & Munster. The tour aims to develop junior golfers on and off the course. This season, three outstanding players have emerged: Isabelle Mullen, Aimee Wilson, and Holly Shortall.
The junior golfers have been selected to represent the ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Irish Kids Golf Tour and will have the opportunity to play alongside a LET professional at the 2024 ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women's Irish Open Pro-Am.
The 2023 ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s Irish Open was won by Danish Native, Smilla Tarning Sønderby claiming her first LET Tour victory, overcoming Anne Van Dam and Nicole Broch Estrup in a nail-biting three-way playoff before striving to glory.
The Championship venue in County Clare saw a record of over 31,000 people pass through the gates over the four days of the tournament.
The crowds enjoyed following the array of talent out on the course, whilst taking in the breath-taking surroundings of Dromoland Castle.
ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Ambassador Leona Maguire closed out the tournament with a one-under 71 to finish eight shots outside the play-off in a tie for 14th on eight-under. Leona birdied three of her first six holes, but chasing a round like Sønderby’s, her race was run after she three-putted the eighth for bogey.
There’s a lot of great golf played this week, and that’s a testament to where the women’s game is. The ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s Irish Open has been a great success, and I really enjoyed my time here in Dromoland.
The 2022 ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Women’s Irish Open was won by Klara Spilková from the Czech Republic, claiming her first LET Tour victory in over five years, overcoming Ursula Wikström and Nicole Broch Estrup in a nail-biting playoff.
Having come agonisingly close to securing a spot in that playoff, Irish golfer and ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø ambassador Leona Maguire will once again tee it up at Dromoland Castle as she seeks to become the first Irish winner of the event.
The Cavan native missed out on the playoff by a single shot despite playing incredible golf over the weekend, including the lowest score of the 3rd round, a magnificent 65 (-7) which saw her charge up the leaderboard to sit just two shots off the pace going into the final round on Sunday. A final round 68 (-4) secured Leona a share of fourth place.
