Two more major champions added to Amgen Irish Open field at The K Club
Molinari, who won The Open in 2018, and 2016 Masters victor Willett, will be joined by PGA Tour stars Jhonattan Vegas and Ryan Gerard in the field for the event that takes place between September 4-7.
The news follows confirmation that LIV trio Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia and Tyrrell Hatton will tee it up at the prestigious Straffan venue, along with Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Padraig Harrington and Seamus Power.
'I am very excited to play in the Amgen Irish Open at The K Club this year,' said Molinari. 'I have not played in the event for 10 years but it is a huge tournament and one that everybody always enjoys.
'The K Club is a great venue with so much history behind it, including the Ryder Cup, so it should be a great week. The Irish fans are so passionate and it gives us a boost inside the ropes when you hear the atmosphere.'
Willett, who has four top 10s in the Irish Open, said: 'The big events just keep coming at this time of the year and they don't get much bigger than the Amgen Irish Open.
'The turnout from the Irish fans is always incredible and I know this year will be no different. The field is shaping up to be really strong so I'm looking forward to a good test from the Palmer North Course, which is always a joy to play.'

Four-time PGA Tour winner Vegas, who competed at The Open in Portrush last month, makes his Irish Open debut. 'Having the opportunity to travel to Ireland and play in the Amgen Irish Open is really exciting and I'm so grateful to both Amgen and the DP World Tour for the opportunity,' said the two-time Olympian from Venezuela.
'I've heard great things about the event and have witnessed how passionate Irish fans are when I've played in the Open Championship in the past, so to have the chance to tee it up in front of them again is really cool.'
Gerard, meanwhile, claimed his first DP World Tour and PGA TOUR victory at the Barracuda Championship earlier this year, and is looking forward to his first trip to these shores.
'Having the opportunity to play all over the world is amazing so I'm delighted to be able to head over and play the Amgen Irish Open,' he said. 'Winning my first event earlier this year has opened so many doors and I'm keen to play in different events and take in new experiences.'

Athletics roundup: Healy ninth in loaded Diamond League 1500m
Sarah Healy came home ninth in a loaded 1500m at the Silesia Diamond League in Poland on Saturday afternoon, the Dubliner clocking 3:57.95 to continue a remarkably consistent season. 'It was an OK day for me,' said Healy, the reigning European Indoor champion over 3000m. 'Not amazing, not too bad.' Healy has run 3:57 in her last three 1500m races and looks capable of threatening Ciara Mageean's Irish record of 3:55.87 in her next outing at the Diamond League final in Zurich later this month. She ran in the middle of the pack in Silesia as Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay set a kamikaze pace out front, passing 800m in an astonishing 1:59 then holding on to win in 3:50.42. Kenya's Beatrice Chebet was second in 3:54.73 and Britain's Georgia Hunter Bell – who trains with Healy – third in 3:56.00. 'It was a really great race,' said Healy, who still leads the Diamond League standings over 1500m. 'We knew they were going out really fast at the start and I feel like I raced the first half very well and I just didn't really have the legs the last lap. I'm a little bit disappointed with the place. I just keep running 3:57 at the minute, but the season is going really well so far. Today was difficult, but I'll take a lot of learnings from it.' In the women's 3000m, Kenyan superstar Faith Kipyegon just missed the world record of 8:06.11, set by China's Wang Junxia in 1993, the three-time Olympic 1500m champion clocking 8:07.04. Norway's Karsten Warholm turned in a statement performance in the 400m hurdles, breaking the Diamond League record with 46.28, while Britain's Keely Hodgkinson made a superb comeback in her first race since the Paris Olympics, powering to victory over 800m in 1:54.74. Sarah Lavin was in action in Bern, Switzerland, the 10-time Irish 100m hurdles champion clocking 13.20 (-0.9m/s) in damp conditions to finish fourth, with victory going to Ditaji Kambundji in 12.66. In Leuven, Belgium, national champion Jack Raftery turned in another strong performance to finish fourth over 400m in 45.50, with Cillín Greene clocking 46.54, Andrew Egan running 47.59 and Chris O'Donnell clocking 47.59. Nick Griggs was the best of the Irish in the 1500m, clocking 3:37.64 to finish 12th. Meanwhile back in Dublin, Pierre Murchan of Dublin City Harriers took victory in the Irish Life Frank Duffy 10 Mile in the Phoenix Park, clocking 49:02 to beat defending champion Hugh Armstrong (49:45), with Stephen McAuley third in 50:55. In the women's race, Ann-Marie McGlynn (Strabane AC) continued her dominant run in the 2025 Irish Life Dublin Race Series, the reigning national marathon champion winning in a course record of 56:08. Caitlyn Harvey clocked 59:40 for second while Kate Purcell was third in 59:58. In other news, Listowel AC will host a tribute night next Saturday to Jerry Kiernan, with John Treacy and John Lenihan among the guests who will speak about the late, great distance runner and beloved coach and TV pundit. It will take place at 8pm in the Listowel Arms Hotel and admission is free, with the inaugural Jerry Kiernan 5K taking place the following morning around the roads of Kiernan's native town. 'I don't think Jerry got enough recognition for what he did as an athlete and a coach and we want to keep that memory alive,' said Kevin Lynch, chairperson of Listowel AC. 'He was a gentleman of a man. He had a lot of good friends down here and he was always loved by Listowel whenever he came down.'

Top Irish racing driver bounces back from big career setback to forge new path
Laura O'Connell was primed and ready to go and, just a week before her dream race, it was snatched from her grasp. The 26-year-old was one of only two Irish female racing drivers - Hanna Celsie was the other - drawn from 25 countries worldwide, who competed in the Formula Women Nations Cup Finals qualifier in Dubai last December. O'Connell successfully made it through the process and everything was booked for a return to the finals in May. They were to be a part of the Formula Woman Festival - an event set to be attended by over 60,000 enthusiasts and broadcast to over 120 countries - with Formula Woman established to provide a pathway for female drivers to climb the ladder towards Formula One involvement. "Unfortunately the week before we were all informed that Formula Woman would basically no longer be in business and that the Nations Cup was not going to go ahead," explained the Clare-born driver. "So, major disappointment. We had everything booked. My whole family had flights and accommodation and everything was ready." Formula 1 testing at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi (Image:) The O'Connells went anyway and Laura got to drive on the Yas Marina F1 circuit in Abu Dhabi through the former Formula Woman CEO Graeme Glew and also Golf Sport, who brought the cars up to the venue for six of the women due to compete. She got to have three 20-minute sessions on the track as the sun set from late afternoon to evening. "That was kind of a plus for all the stuff that had happened," said the 26-year-old. "It was very cool, actually, to see the track at night time and to see what the actual F1 drivers are seeing, because that's a night time race. "It was just a surreal thing because it's one of those bucket list tracks. It was definitely the coolest track I've ever been on, especially when the hotel there at Yas Marina started to light up at night time and changed colour. It wasn't a totally wasted trip, I suppose!" O'Connell grew up in Broadford as a F1 fan with posters of Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher on her wall. Her father, Pat, was a rally driver who also helped to organise the Galway Rally, and she grew up going to karting tracks with him. She played underage Camogie for her county but racing is in the blood. So while she loved her Yas Marina experience, missing out on the Nations Cup finals was a body blow and she took almost a month off afterwards to come to terms with it, then returned to the track.

"But we'll keep moving anyway and try to forget about it. "I got a sports psychologist to help me through that disappointment and to kind of mentally prepare for what was to come next. "I was watching a lot of other sports, even hurling and rugby, they all have them. So does racing - all the top racers will have them, and there's obviously a reason for them to have them. So I sought out a sports psychologist myself and yeah, they've really been helping get me in the right mindset. It's been really helpful." She went back racing in June after joining the new Racing Women team founded by Glew and O'Connell's new team-mate was Jorden Dolishka - who won that Formula Woman Nations Cup qualifier in December. Together, they won the Radical UK Cup championship team event in that same month, with O'Connell and Dolishka taking one race each before swapping halfway in the endurance race. "It was great to come out with a win after everything that happened," said the Irish driver. "I was mad to get back out so I was just trying to figure out where to go. And I was lucky that Racing Women was formed and I was able to join them straight away." Laura O'Connell and Jorden Dolishka celebrate their team victory (Image: Laura O'Connell Instagram) She will race with the team - now expanded to 10 drivers - again next month in the same UK championship, although this time it will be a mixed event involving men and women. That will take place in Donington Park and the prize on offer is a fully sponsored drive in the Radical World UK finals, which will take place in Virginia in November. "So hopefully I'll make the top two and I'll have a free ride to America. But we'll see how it goes," smiled O'Connell, who will be in Donington Park on Wednesday for a test day. "I'll basically be up against all these racing women and I'll kind of get a good idea of my competition and how I stand next to them. I do feel like I'll be in with a good enough chance." The ultimate goal with Racing Women, O'Connell confides, is to get a team into the 24 Hour Le Mans in the coming years. A big step up, she admits, given that the longest race she has done is 45 minutes. Laura O'Connell behind the wheel (Image: Laura O'Connell Instagram) "But it's one I'm working towards," she added. "And hopefully in the next year or so, if I get the sponsors that I'm hoping to get, I'll be able to kind of do it full time and work my way towards Le Mans." O'Connell is a biochemist who works just 10 minutes from home for Beckman Coulter and she is hugely grateful that the multi-national company supports her in terms of time off when she needs it to pursue her dream. Gym work is vital to her cause, as is the sports psychology aspect and working on the simulator she has at home where she can get a feel for what the car will be like on the Donington track, while using an online coach to help her look for the marginal gains. It's all about making further progress up the ladder. "Especially as a woman, it's so much harder for us anyway to get sponsors, to get the coverage and the results that the men are getting because we're kind of treated a little bit differently outside of the actual race," O'Connell said. "Once we put our helmets on, we're all treated the exact same. "But outside of that, it's definitely not harder for a woman. So I felt like when the Nations Cup was cancelled, it was just another kind of punch in the gut for women in sport. But I've been very lucky with all the opportunities that have kind of been thrown my way since and hopefully they don't stop."

World champion Gudaf Tsegay blitzed the field in Poland, setting a furious pace by going through 800m in under two minutes before storming home in 3:50.62.
