Challenge Tour: Irish Challenge 2025

The Irish Challenge represents a significant opportunity on the DP World Tour's Challenge Tour circuit, offering players the chance to compete for €300,000 in prize money across four days of strokeplay competition.

This touring nature reflects Irish golf's rich tradition and the country's status as a key destination for professional tournament golf.

Previous winners have included Brandon Robinson Thompson (2024), Todd Clements (2023), Daan Huizing (2022), Emilio Cuartero Blanco (2021), and Oliver Wilson (2019), demonstrating the caliber of talent that regularly competes in this Challenge Tour event.
