The 2021 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open is heading to Kilkenny’s Mount Juliet Estate.
Originally slated for May 2020, this summer’s European Tour event was pulled from the schedule due to Covid-19.
Galgorm Castle in the North played host to the 2020 edition, moving from May to September.
Now, Mount Juliet will open its doors to the Championship from 1-4 July with a €3,000,000 prize pot on offer.
The full 2021 schedule, including ‘returning’ events from 2020 was announced on Tuesday afternoon.
“I am incredibly proud to announce our 2021 global schedule today, one that once again sees us journey through continents and across the world”, said Keith Pelley, Chief Executive of the European Tour.
“Our events in the initial part of the 2021 season will continue to operate under the guidelines of our world-class Health Strategy, which will evolve aligned to the latest medical advice.”
“However, with the incredible progress that has been made in recent months in terms of a vaccine, we look forward to hopefully welcoming the gradual return of the fans we’ve so dearly missed, whilst at the same time continuing to entertain viewers at home through our unrivalled World Feed TV output and across our award-winning digital platforms.”
