Doonbeg golf course in west Clare is considering bringing back the Irish Open after exceeding expectations by over 100,000 per cent. The event, held at the iconic links course, attracted a record number of spectators following Shane Lowry's victory. The success was attributed to a combination of factors, including the performance of the golfers and the influence of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The tournament, which took place in late July, saw a surge in attendance, with organizers expressing surprise at the turnout. The course, known for its challenging layout, has a rich history in professional golf. While the decision to return the event remains under review, the overwhelming response has prompted discussions about the future of the tournament. The impact of Trump's presence at the event is believed to have played a role in the increased interest. The course's management is now evaluating the possibility of hosting the Irish Open again in the coming years.
