Jon Rahm will tee it up at the Irish Open in September as part of his DP World Tour comeback. The Spaniard paid his LIV Golf fines to regain tour status and needs five events this season to remain Ryder Cup 2027 eligible. Rahm previously won at Portstewart in 2017 and Lahinch in 2019.

The two-time champion joins a stacked field including Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, and Luke Donald at Doonbeg from September 10-13. Rahm also confirmed entries for the Madrid Open and Scottish Open as he builds his 2026 schedule. His return signals renewed commitment to European golf after the LIV controversy.

This marks Rahm's first DP World Tour appearance since serving his suspension. The 10-time tour winner faces pressure to deliver results quickly while balancing PGA Tour obligations. His presence elevates an already strong Irish Open field competing on the County Clare links.

The decision reflects Rahm's clear focus on representing Europe at the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland. Fans can watch the action unfold live on Sky Sports Golf as he pursues a third Irish Open title.
