The Irish Open begins this Thursday, with a glittering array of talent gearing up to do battle at the K Club, and RTÉ's extensive coverage bringing you all the action across four days in Kildare.

Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen took the title last year in dramatic circumstances after holding his nerve against England's Eddie Pepperell and Austria's Bernd Wiesberger in a play-off.
