Mount Juliet could host 2020 Irish Open

Mount Juliet is in line to host next year's Irish Open, which is likely to be played in September next year. 

The Irish Independent reports that European Tour officials have visited the Kilkenny course, which hosted the tournament between 1993 and 1995, in recent weeks. 

With next year's W-G-C Fed Ex St Jude Invitational set to be played two weeks before The Open, organisers are considering moving the Irish Open to a date in the Autumn.
