POLICY WIRE — Dublin, Ireland — U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed plans to return to Ireland next year for the 2027 Ryder Cup, set to take place at Limerick’s Adare Manor.

The event will mark the first time the competition is held in Ireland since 2006, when County Kildare hosted the tournament. Trump made the announcement during a two-day visit to the country, where he met with Taoiseach Micheál Martin at Farmleigh House in Dublin.

When asked about attending the 2027 event, Trump said, “I will, absolutely. It’s a big tournament.” He also expressed a preference for the Ryder Cup to be held at his Turnberry golf course in Scotland, though he acknowledged it may not happen due to long-term scheduling decisions.

His upcoming trip comes amid growing concerns over potential protests against his foreign policy, particularly regarding U.S. involvement in Gaza. Despite this, Martin welcomed him, expressing particular pleasure at Trump’s attendance at the ongoing Irish Open, where Irish golfer Shane Lowry leads after the third round.

Trump previously attended the 2025 Ryder Cup in New York, where he was seen from a secure area behind bulletproof glass following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His presence in Ireland could face a more challenging reception, given the political climate and public sentiment.

Team Europe will enter the 2027 event with momentum after defeating Team USA 15-13 at Bethpage Black, securing their first away victory since 2012.
