Charley Hull and Leona Maguire returning to KPMG Women’s Irish Open

World number three, Charley Hull, has been confirmed to return to the 2026 KPMG Women’s Irish Open, to tee it up alongside Irish favourite Leona Maguire. The tournament will take place at The K Club this August 27-30, marking an exciting new chapter for the event. 

Hull’s return follows a hugely successful debut appearance at last year’s tournament, where she quickly became a fan favourite. The English star, Olympian and 7-time Solheim Cup player brings world-class pedigree, with eight professional wins across the LPGA and LET and over 80 top 10 finishes to her name. 

She joins Leona Maguire, one of Ireland’s most accomplished golfers, who continues to make history. With five professional wins, three Olympics appearances and joining three Solheim Cup Europe teams, Maguire became the first Irishwoman ever to win on the LPGA Tour and has consistently competed among the world’s elite 

Charley Hull said:
“I am excited to return to the KPMG Irish Open this summer. Last year was my first time playing an event in Ireland and it exceeded all expectations. The family-friendly atmosphere is one of the best crowds I have played in front of and a highlight from last year. Hopefully they come out again to support us particularly as we are moving to a new venue, The K Club. I’ve heard so many good things about this course and can’t wait to get started.”

Leona Maguire said:
“It means the world to me to be teeing it up at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open again this year. There’s something incredibly special about coming back home, playing on Irish soil at The K Club and feeling that support from the fans who’ve been behind me every step of the way. The atmosphere is always electric, and I’m really looking forward to embracing that and giving it my all in front of a home crowd.”

Since returning in 2022 under KPMG’s title sponsorship, the KPMG Women’s Irish Open has rapidly established itself as one of Europe’s premier women’s golf events, attracting world-class players, record-breaking crowds and a growing global audience. 

The move to The K Club for 2026 signals another milestone for the tournament, offering a new and iconic stage for what promises to be a thrilling week of golf. 

With Hull and Maguire leading the field, fans can expect a spectacular showcase of talent, competition and atmosphere, as the world’s best players descend on County Kildare once again.
