LONDON — Rory McIlroy says he will continue to host the Irish Open until 2018 on behalf of his charity, with sponsorship also secured for the next three years. Prize money for the tournament, which will be hosted at The K Club in May 2016, will rise by 60 percent, from 2.5 million euros ($2.85million) to 4 million euros ($4.5million). McIlroy says “the Irish Open has always meant so much to me” and “I am sure The K Club ... will be an excellent venue for the 2016 Irish Open.” — AP
