2025 Irish Open
September 7, 2025 2:10 am EDT
This Sunday morning, the DP World Tour presents Draftkings golf fans with the final round of the 2025 Irish Open. Let’s take a look at the final round of this tournament from a DFS perspective.
Before I discuss my Draftkings player selections for this week’s event let’s review where the second round of the 2025 Irish Open will be played.
The 2025 Irish Open will be played at the K Club (Palmer Course) in Kildare, Ireland. The golf course is a par 72 that measures approximately 7,441 yards.
*Rasmus Hojgaard won the 2024 Irish Open with a cumulative four round score of nine under par.
I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a DraftKings GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest! Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this DFS slate.
For those readers that are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single round showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.
If you need to review the specific rules for the single round showdown contests feel free to check out the DraftKings website.
Here are my DraftKings picks for the final round of the 2025 Irish Open.
Draftkings Final Round Picks
Rory McIlroy $12,400
Since the beginning of January, Rory McIlroy has played 15 tournaments (PGA and DP World Tours combined). In those 15 events just mentioned, McIlroy compiled ten top 19 finishes, including three wins (2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: 2025 Players Championship: 2025 Masters Tournament).
Rory McIlroy is currently ranked third in strokes gained off the tee (0.671), eighth in strokes gained putting (0.597), second in driving distance (323.1), 14th in scrambling (63.80%), eighth in birdie or better percentage (35.65%), third in total strokes gained (1.543) and seventh in par five scoring average (4.48) on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy certainly checks the box for me when it comes to previous event history. Since 2015, Rory McIlroy has played the Irish Open seven times. In those seven tournaments just noted, McIlroy amassed four top 28 finishes, including a win at the 2016 Irish Open.
Upon the completion of today’s afternoon’s third round of the 2025 Irish Open, Rory McIlroy is currently tied for fourth place with a three round cumulative score of 11 under par.
Oliver Lindell $9,200
Oliver Lindell arrives at this week’s tournament on the heels of three consecutive top 17 finishes on the DP World Tour, including an eighth-place result at the 2025 Danish Golf Championship three weeks ago.
Joakim Lagergren $8,500
Last week, Joakim Lagergren fired a final round 64 at the 2025 Omega European Masters on his way to an eventual eighth-place finish. Additionally, Lagergren finished fifth at the 2020 Irish Open.
Todd Clements $8,000
The talented Englishman has compiled three top 28 finishes in his last four tournaments played on the DP World Tour, including a third-place result at the 2025 Barracuda Championship in July.

Mikael Lindberg has amassed two top 13 finishes in his last three events played on the DP World Tour, including a 13th place result at last week’s 2025 Omega European Masters.
