Revealed: How much prize money Rory McIlroy and every player scooped at the Irish Open

The K Club in County Kildare hosted the Amgen Irish Open, and a familiar face was once again on hand to take the lion’s share of the $6million purse.

Rory McIlroy needed three play-off holes to defeat Sweden’s Joakim Lagergren and make a long awaited return to the winner’s podium.

The Northern Irishman’s last win came at the Masters in April, where he completed his career Grand Slam. Though he went close with a runner’s up finish at the Scottish Open in July.

McIlroy took the Irish Open to a play-off after holing a 25-foot eagle on the last, to level Lagergren’s final round of 66.

The duo birdied the first two play-off holes, but Lagergren ended up in the water on the third allowing McIlroy to reclaim the crown he last won in 2016.

It was McIlroy’s third play-off win of the season after victories in the Players Championship and the Masters.

McIlroy believes 2025 could be his best year

“I thought it was going to be a nice homecoming, obviously coming home with a green jacket and all that, but this has been absolutely incredible,” McIlroy said.

“This has exceeded all of my expectations. I’m just so, so happy I could play the way I did this week for all of them and get the win.

“To do what I did earlier in the year and then to come home and win my national Open, no matter what happens for the rest of the year, that’s a pretty cool year – 2025’s going to be one of the best, if not the best, of my career.

“But we’re not finished yet, I’ve got a big week next week at Wentworth and then obviously everybody’s looking forward to the Ryder Cup.”
