Amgen golf ambassador, Shane Lowry has won the 2026 Amgen Irish Open, following four days of world-class golf at Doonbeg, in County Clare.
Shane secured a record 11-stroke victory in front of home crowds. This year's tournament brought together world-class golfing talent, fans, volunteers, and the local community for a memorable week on Ireland's iconic West Coast. Shane's performance reflected not only exceptional sporting achievement, but the pride, resilience, and connection to community that make him such a valued ambassador for Amgen and Irish sport.
As title sponsor, Amgen is proud to support an event that extended beyond the golf course, creating opportunities to engage young people, support local communities, and help raise funds for Make-A-Wish Ireland, the tournament's official charity partner.
This year also saw the Amgen Biotech Experience come to the Amgen Irish Open for the first time, through Amgen's partnership with University College Dublin. As part of Golf Ireland's youth engagement initiative, local primary school students from Raheen and Kilkee were welcomed on site for an immersive tournament experience, combining a behind-the-scenes tour with a hands-on science session.
The interactive activity introduced students to biotechnology through accessible demonstrations, including micro-pipetting and an exploration of genetic variations, making science accessible in a unique tournament setting.
Committed to ensuring a lasting impact beyond tournament week, Amgen supported the launch of the new Doonbeg Heritage Trail Audio Guide, a community-led initiative that celebrates the village's history, heritage, and people. The free smartphone experience makes local stories more accessible to residents and visitors alike, while encouraging people to get active, explore the village on foot, and spend time outdoors.
The week also included the DP World Tour Women in Golf event, bringing together women working across the game for conversations on careers, leadership, and opportunity. The event featured perspectives from across golf and sport, including local Ladies European Tour player Áine Donegan, Sport Ireland CEO Dr. Una May, and Make-A-Wish Ireland CEO Susan O'Dwyer.
For Amgen, the Amgen Irish Open is part of a broader commitment to the communities in which its people live and work across Ireland. Amgen extends a warm thanks to the players, fans, volunteers, partners, and the Doonbeg community for making the 2026 tournament a memorable week both on and beyond the course.
