The Important Bit

The Important Bit

Now that registration is well and truly closed, we can announce that the total field for the 2022 Irish Open Main Event is 2,040 – absolutely destroying the previous record of 1,807, achieved the last time we were all together here back in 2019. A pat on the back for JP and all of you lovely players for making this happen.

The total prizepool comes to an eye-watering €1,989,000, and 263 places will pay out in amounts varying from €1,970 for 263rd right up to €318,700 for the eventual winner. There are 400 players remaining in Day 2 right now, so we predict it won’t be too long before we’re at the bubble.
