Portmarnock Golf Club will approach the government to seek support for a formal approach to The R&A to host the AIG Women's Open and The Open.

Rory McIlroy confirmed during last month’s Horizon Irish Open that the R&A are "looking seriously" at Portmarnock as a potential venue for The Open and reckons the north Dublin links would be a "fantastic" venue.

The world No 2 is massively in favour of taking The Open to the Irish capital and making it the first staging outside the UK.

The news is somewhat unexpected given that the famed links course will host the 121st Women’s Amateur Championship next year for the second time having previously hosted in 1931.

It also staged The Amateur Championship in 1949 and 2019, the Walker Cup in 1991 and the international matches for the St Andrews and Jacques Leglise trophies in 2012.
