In this post we preview the 2023 Irish Open odds and take a look at all the betting favourites ahead of this year's big event.
Where? This year's Irish Open will be played at the K Club - Ryder Course.
This will be the 2nd time that The Irish Open will be played at the K Club and the 68th Irish Open overall.
The first Irish Open was won by Scotsman George Duncan in 1927 who won £150. How times have changed though, the reigning champion is Polish man Adrian Meronk, and he will be fighting it out for over €900,000 from a €3,000,000 purse this coming weekend.
This year's renewal of the Irish Open is being hosted at the K Club which is the course that he landed his sole Irish Open success back in 2016. Many are speculating that lightning could strike twice at the weekend.
From the Northern Irishman's 18 starts during the 22/23 golfing season, he has two victories, two runners-up placings and 13 Top-10 finishes. Rory is coming into this tournament in solid form coming in the Top-5 four times in his last four tournaments including a victory at the Genesis Scottish Open.
His last outing was a 4th place finish a couple weeks ago at East Lake in the Tour Championship.

The last time the Irish Open was held at the K Club (2016) Hatton finished T5 so he should have good memories coming into this week.
His 22/23 form coming into this event has been solid yet unspectacular. Fom 21 events he has zero victories, 1 runners-up finish, 7 Top-10 placings, 13 Top-25 results and he has only missed the cut on one occasion. Last time out at the Tour Championship he finished T16.
If Hatton wins this year's Irish Open it would be his first victory since 2021 and it would also bode well for Europe to have him in good form going into this month's Ryder Cup.
World Number 44 Min Woo Lee is playing at an event for the first time since The Open Championship. This has people speculating that he could fancy himself for victory in Ireland.
Lee has two professional tour victories since turning pro in 2019 with his most recent win coming at the 2021 Scottish Open.
From 13 events in the 22/23 season the Aussie has 3 Top-10 finishes, 4 Top-25 placings and has made the cut 9/13 times. A player to watch at the event, but very much an unknown quantity following his break.

During the 22/23 season, he has been unspectacular for his standards making 15/17 cuts, appearing in the Top 10 just 4 times, and the Top 25 6 times.
Scott has described himself as ‘dialled in’ ahead of the 2023 Irish Open where he will be returning to the event for the first time in 21 years. He may be getting on at 43 years of age but if he can find anything like the game he is capable of you can expect him to be a major contender at the K Club.

Lowry subsequently turned professional and has since been a consistent feature on the PGA and European Tour. At last year's event he finished a respectable T9. Lowry always seems to find form in Ireland.
The 2019 Open Champion's form in 22/23 hasn’t been great. While he has made the cut in 15/18 events, he has only 1 Top-10 finish and 9 Top-25 placings. Lowry was just named this week as a captain's pick for the Ryder Cup and will be hoping to build momentum heading into the big event in Rome.

If Hatton wins this year's Irish Open it would be his first victory since 2021 and it would also bode well for Europe to have him in good form going into this month's Ryder Cup.
