This year’s tournament promises an electrifying showdown as English golf superstar Charley Hull, one of the sport’s most dynamic and recognizable talents, headlines the field. Hull, a Solheim Cup standout and multiple-time LET and LPGA Tour winner, will be joined by Ireland’s own Leona Maguire, who continues to elevate the Irish golf scene with her record-breaking performances and Olympic pedigree. Fans can also look forward to seeing, Georgia Hall, Madelene Sagström and the 2026 captain Anna Nordqvist. Defending champion, Annabel Dimmock will return to the event to defend her title alongside the World amateur number 1 ranked golfer, Lottie Woad.
The action won’t be confined to the fairways. The spectator village will offer a vibrant festival atmosphere with a wide selection of food vendors. The village will also feature live music each day, as well as interactive golf-themed games and competitions such as long putt challenges, kids fun zone, and chipping contests — giving fans the chance to test their skills and win prizes throughout the week.
Keeping families in mind, the event offers free admission for children under 16, along with a dedicated kids’ zone, face painting, picnic areas, and sweet treats to ensure fun for all ages. Sustainability remains a key focus, with a bottle return scheme in place to reduce environmental impact and promote eco-friendly event practices.
One of the week’s most anticipated fixtures, the Pro-Am, will take place on Wednesday, July 2nd, featuring a mix of celebrities, sporting icons, and amateur players teeing it up alongside tour professionals. This is free to attend and offers fans an up-close look at the stars in a more relaxed, entertaining setting.
Accessibility is a priority, with free on-site parking provided to all spectators, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience from arrival to final putt.
With its stunning parkland setting, the Mark O’Meara-designed course, and a packed programme of golf and entertainment, the 2025 KPMG Women’s Irish Open is set to be an unmissable highlight on Ireland’s sporting calendar.
