The Irish Open will take place in early July next year as the DP World Tour announced its schedule for 2027.

The tournament, which was won by Shane Lowry at Doonbeg last week, has been moved to 1-4 July because of the Ryder Cup, which is scheduled for 17-19 September.

With the Ryder Cup's slightly earlier date in September, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth will be played the week following the biennial contest between Europe and United States at Adare Manor in Ireland.

As a result, the French Open will move to 7-9 September.

The Irish Open was previously held in July before moving to September in 2023.
