Speaking to BBC NI, Norman said: "“We are looking to 2025-26,’ 26-’27 and’ 27-’28 now. So the popularity of this has spoken for itself, and so yes, countries like Ireland are passionate golf countries and a passionate destination not only for Americans but for Europeans to go play there.

“I have built golf courses there, which I am very proud of, so from my perspective, of course, we are going to keep all options open.”

While Graeme McDowell added: “First of all, the market has to want it; the fans have to want it. I think this is a truly global tour, and we can take these events anywhere in the world.
