Irish Open 2023 LIVE: Tee times, field, live stream and how to follow final round as Rory McIlroy returns to The K Club

By the time he won this tournament, he had already earned four Majors, but it was still a poignant moment for the now 34-year-old.
McIlroy sealed the win with an excellent birdie-par-eagle finish to secure victory by three strokes.
The Irishman missed last year's event but will use this one to help prepare for the Ryder Cup later this month.
But he isn't the only star attraction, with Shane Lowry, Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee also taking part.

Horizon Irish Open: What's been said?
McIlroy is delighted to be returning to The K Club.
He said: "The Irish Open is a tournament that I grew up not just watching on TV but attending as a kid, seeing all my favourite players there over the years.
"It's always been such a well-supported event. I've had my fair share of support and great memories at that tournament, and going back to The K Club, it's where I've had the most success, and I'm obviously excited to get back there.
