Shane Lowry and Jacob Skov Olesen went off last at 2.05pm local time (9.05am ET) in the final round of the Amgen Irish Open at Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg. Lowry started the day on 16-under after rounds of 67, a course-record 62 and 65, four clear of Olesen and seven clear of Joaquín Niemann. The final round is being played in pairs rather than the three-balls used on Saturday. Play is under way as this publishes.
If you're arriving late, the TV section below has every window in five countries, including the one that's free in Ireland. There's also one broadcast detail two official sources disagree on.
Golf Raw is not at Doonbeg. Tee-time, leaderboard and broadcast details come from Golf Monthly, Golfmagic, the DP World Tour's own TV schedule page and Golf Channel, published 12 or 13 September 2026.
Final round tee times
Golf Monthly confirms the leaders went out at 2.05pm local, 9.05am ET, with Lowry alongside Olesen for a second consecutive day. The field is out in pairs.
The full published tee sheet for round four wasn't available to Golf Raw at the time of writing. Check europeantour.com or the DP World Tour app for the group you want, and treat any full list circulating on aggregator sites with caution until it matches the tour's own page.
For scale on the day's shape, Saturday's third round began at 10.07am local with Lowry last off at 2.30pm, per Golf Monthly. Sunday's field is smaller in each group, so the whole draw runs tighter.

Here's the discrepancy flagged up top. Golf Monthly gives the Sky Sports Golf simulcast as 5pm to 6.30pm. The DP World Tour's own TV schedule page says Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event will carry the final hour from 6pm to 7pm. Neither has been corrected. If you only want the finish, set aside 5pm to 7pm and you're covered either way.
The DP World Tour lists Dom Holyer on commentary with Andrew Coltart, Paul McGinley and David Howell on analysis, Wayne Riley and Anthony Wall on course, and Gabbie Partington and Josh Antmann on interviews.
What Lowry is actually playing for
A seventh DP World Tour title, and the end of a four-year wait for a solo win.
Golfmagic reports Lowry, 39, is seeking his first individual victory in exactly four years. Golf Monthly puts the last one at the 2022 BMW PGA Championship, where he beat Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm by a stroke. His most recent win of any kind came at the 2024 Zurich Classic, the team event he played alongside McIlroy.
He won this tournament as an amateur in 2009. Golfmagic notes he arrived at Doonbeg having missed the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and slid from 26th to 53rd in the world this season.
Olesen, the sole realistic challenger on paper, bogeyed the 18th on Saturday for a 66 and a 12-under total.
The rest of the picture
McIlroy is already finished. The defending champion closed with a 3-under 67, his best round of the week, containing seven birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey, to end on 1-under. He told reporters he felt he wasn't too far away heading to Wentworth.
Niemann is third on 9-under. Tom McKibbin is the next-best Irish player at 7-under alongside Daniel Rodrigues. Tyrrell Hatton missed the cut after a Friday 78.
One thing worth knowing if you're watching from the start: Golf Monthly reports players voiced frustration over pace of play at Doonbeg this week, with one describing it as probably the longest round of golf he'd ever played. A links course with big galleries and a presidential security operation is not a fast day out.
Speaking of which, Trump is expected on site and has been widely reported as likely to present the trophy. GalwayBayFM described him on Saturday as the first US President to attend a DP World Tour event. Nothing had been officially confirmed about the ceremony at the time of writing.

If you're reading this while the round is on, skip to the TV table and get RTÉ2 open. Everything else here is context for a tournament that's already being decided.
The number that matters isn't the four-shot lead. It's four years, which is how long Lowry has gone without a solo win, on a course he's already shot 62 around, in front of a crowd that chanted him up the 15th on Saturday. Leads at Doonbeg have been evaporating all week. This one won't feel comfortable to him until the last putt drops.
