The Ladies Irish Open 2010

Dunsany

The 2010 AIB Ladies Irish Open, supported by Fáilte Ireland, will take place on 6th - 8th August, at Killeen Castle, on the Jack Nicklaus Signature designed course, which will also host the 2011 Solheim Cup. It is anticipated that the move to August in the week immediately following the Ricoh Women’s British Open, will attract some of the biggest names in ladies golf, not only on the Ladies European Tour, but also on an international level, as it is presently a free week on the LPGA calendar. In addition to one of the biggest purses in Europe of €500,000 on offer, it will also provide Solheim Cup contenders from both teams the unique opportunity to play the highly acclaimed Jack Nicklaus Signature course competitively a year before the 2011 Solheim Cup. It is unlikely that the event will be played at Killeen Castle in 2011, on the same dates, due to the proximity of the matches, scheduled for September 23 - 25, 2011.
