A lot can change in 13 years.
The announcement that the Ryder Cup will be returning to Ireland in 2026 is already a coup, but the fact that it will be hosted in the picturesque village of Adare, Co Limerick makes it all the more promising. Adare Manor previously hosted the Irish Open and is one of the premier golf destinations in Europe and under the guidance of its most ardent supporter J.P. McManus, it is being elevated into the upper echelons of global hospitality.
