The KPMG Women’s Irish Open will take place over the August bank hoilday weekend in 2023

The KPMG Women’s Irish Open has been moved to a new date in 2023. The women's event will now run from August 31 to September 3. 

The new date will take place a week before men's open at the K Club.

24,000 people attended the event at Dromland Castle after the return from its 10-year hiatus.

It will now return to the same venue next year, albeit at a later date.

The prize money for the event is a €400,000 prize fund.

Ireland's Leona Maguire missed out on a playoff by a single shot. The Cavan woman ended her 2022 Irish Open with  68 (-4) in fourth place.

Czech Republic native Klara Spilková took home last years title.

Cian Branagan, CEO and Founder of Forefront Sports said: “We are delighted to announce the new date for the KPMG Women’s Irish Open in 2023. It is our hope that this new position on the LET schedule will kick off a festival of golf for Irish golf fans as the summer of 2023 comes to a close.

"The tournament proved to be a brilliant success in 2022 with a record number of people attending the event in Dromoland Castle and we are delighted to be returning to this world-class venue in 2023.”

Next January tickets for the 2023 KPMG Women’s Irish Open will go on sale.
