Rory McIlroy Leads Ryder Cup Tickets Push for Adare Manor
Ryder Cup tickets now point to Adare Manor in Limerick, where the competition will be staged next September for only the second time in Ireland. The move puts one of golf’s biggest team events in a county that is already being framed around access, course quality and a wider regional golf push.
Adare Manor and JP McManus
Adare Manor is the centerpiece, and JP McManus owns the property that will host the Ryder Cup. That gives Limerick the headline venue, with the tournament arriving in a place described as a parkland masterpiece and a major milestone for Ireland’s sporting history.
Limerick is 25 minutes from Shannon International Airport, a practical detail for anyone trying to map out the trip before tickets are snapped up. The region is not being sold on one course alone, either. Limerick has six other golf courses, and a seven-club regional golf pass is about to be launched.
Dromoland Castle Golf Club
The wider golf pitch leans on nearby Dromoland Castle Golf Club, which hosted the women’s Irish Open in 2022 and 2023. The club was completely revamped and redesigned in 2003 by Ron Kirby and JB Carr at a cost of over 5 million euros, and a further 3 million euros has been spent there over the past three years.
Dromoland Castle has existed since 1962, and its par-72 Championship course sits on a 450-acre estate. That mix of long-term investment and tournament use is what the region is offering alongside Adare Manor as it tries to turn the Ryder Cup into a broader golf destination rather than a single-week event.
Rory McIlroy in September
Rory McIlroy adds another layer to the month, with the Grand Slam hero set to defend his national title at Trump International Doonbeg in September at this year’s Irish Open. His presence links the Ryder Cup build-up to a stretch of golf that already reaches across Limerick and Clare.
That leaves the clearest route for readers simple: Adare Manor is the Ryder Cup venue, Limerick is the base, and the surrounding courses are being pushed as part of the same trip. For anyone planning around ryder cup tickets, the region is preparing to sell more than one course at once.
