The Hill: President Trump to travel to Ireland next month to attend Irish Open at Doonbeg golf course

A White House official told The Associated Press that President Donald Trump plans to be in Ireland on Sept. 12 and 13 to attend the Irish Open’s final rounds at Trump’s Doonbeg property.

President Donald Trump is planning to travel to Ireland next month to attend the Irish Open, according to a White House official who spoke with The Associated Press, with the report first published by The Hill. The planned dates are Sept. 12 and 13, the final two days of the tournament, which will be held at Trump’s golf course in Doonbeg, Ireland, the outlet reported.

The announcement comes as tournament organizers and Irish authorities typically plan for large crowds and coordinated local and security resources during major international sporting events. While specific security or scheduling details were not provided in the report, the White House official’s timeline places Trump’s attendance during the closing stages of the Irish Open.

The report characterizes the Ireland trip as a non-governmental event appearance, focused on Trump’s personal participation in the tournament at the Doonbeg course. It does not describe any executive orders, proclamations, or other official policy actions tied to the visit.

Trump’s travel plans, as described by the White House official to AP, would place him outside the United States during the weekend portion of the Irish Open, potentially requiring adjustments to standard daily scheduling and coordination for Secret Service protection, diplomatic logistics, and communications, according to general practice for presidential international travel.

The Doonbeg course has been previously associated with Trump’s brand, and the report describes the Irish Open as being played at the Trump property. The report did not include additional information about whether other U.S. officials would accompany him or whether any meetings with Irish government or business leaders were planned.

The White House did not provide an official schedule in the materials reviewed for this story. An official confirmation on a White House travel page or other primary government documentation was not included in the supplied record, and Apex has not independently verified further details beyond the attributed AP reporting. If additional official documentation is released closer to the trip, it could clarify transportation, protocol, and whether any meetings or additional events are part of the travel plan.

Why It Matters

  • The timing of a presidential overseas appearance affects Secret Service and interagency coordination during a major international sports event.
  • If Trump’s attendance is confirmed, it may require local and national public-safety planning in Ireland during the tournament’s final rounds.
  • A lack of an official, primary schedule in the supplied record means key travel logistics, potential meetings, and protocol details may need confirmation from White House or related government channels.
