Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation 2017 Tickets

The Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation 2017 has been one of the most spectacular sports events of the year. The tournament took place from July 6 to 9, 2017, at Portstewart Golf Club in Northern Ireland and saw some of the world's most renowned golfers gather for four days of intense competition.

This year’s Irish Open marked the fourth time that Rory McIlroy's charitable foundation has hosted the prestigious tournament, which serves as an official part of the European Tour. The Rory Foundation was established in 2013 to transform children’s lives through the power of sport, particularly in vulnerable communities around the world.

In this year’s tournament, Spain’s Jon Rahm emerged victorious with a six-shot win over runner-up Richie Ramsay of Scotland. Rahm dominated the penultimate round with seven birdies, finishing the tournament with a total score of 24 under par.

The Spanish golfer did not only take home the Irish Open trophy and a prize money of €1,000,000 but also secured his European Tour card and moved to world number eight rankings in the Official World Golf Ranking. This was his second European Tour title of his career.

In addition to the excitement on the greens, this year’s tournament brought great opportunities for charity. The Rory Foundation raised funds through multiple initiatives such as the “11 million” campaign aimed at improving the lives of young people worldwide. The campaign encouraged fans and supporters to donate £10 each online and reach a target of £1 million which was later matched by another £1 million donated by the Foundation’s key partners.

The Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation 2017 highlighted the growing interest in golf as a global sport, bringing together top talent from all corners of the world and supporting charitable causes through its platform. The tournament served as a great example of how sports can be used to support worthy initiatives and bring about positive change. It not only showcased the best golf skills of both emerging and established players but also contributed to a greater sense of social responsibility.
