Horizon Therapeutics plc Named Title Partner of the Irish Open

Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced it has been named the Title Partner of the Irish Open in a six-year deal

Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced it has been named the Title Partner of the Irish Open in a six-year deal, which will begin with the 2022 Horizon Irish Open at Mount Juliet Estate in County Kilkenny, Ireland, from June 30 to July 3.

“Horizon has called Ireland home for nearly ten years and this partnership with the DP World Tour further solidifies our continued economic and community commitment,” said Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “In addition to developing medicines, philanthropy is at our core. We have forged meaningful relationships in Ireland and know that serving as the Title Partner of this historic tournament will serve as a platform to positively impact the Irish and global community.”

We are thrilled to welcome Horizon as the new Title Partner of the Irish Open,” said Guy Kinnings, deputy chief executive officer and chief commercial officer of the European Tour group. “It is a tournament which always holds a special place in the global golfing calendar thanks to its history, the world-renowned Irish fans and of course the many world-class players the island has produced. It is a sign of Horizon’s commitment to golf on the island of Ireland that they have committed until at least 2027 and we very much look forward to working with them. This agreement is just the latest example how the Strategic Alliance with the PGA TOUR continues to benefit our membership.”

Last year, Horizon entered into a multi-year partnership agreement with three-time major champion Padraig Harrington. As part of that agreement, Mr. Harrington will wear the Horizon logo on his shirts, sweaters and outerwear during tournaments, and in conjunction with the Padraig Harrington Charitable Foundation partner with the company on philanthropic programs.

“The Irish Open has special meaning for me, and I am appreciative of Horizon’s continued support to me as a golfer, the Irish Open and the Irish community overall,” said Padraig Harrington, 2007 Irish Open champion. “We share similar philanthropic approaches and some community partners, and I am excited to continue to explore charitable endeavors together.”

Horizon’s global headquarters are in Dublin and the company recently opened a new 62,000 square foot headquarters facility at 70 St. Stephen’s Green. In 2021, the company purchased a 44,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Waterford, Ireland to support the growth of its on-market rare disease medicines and pipeline biologics. During the last two years, Horizon has provided approximately €1,000,000 in community support including €123,000 in scholarships to help economically disadvantaged students from Trinity College Dublin and Waterford Institute of Technology cover their non-tuition expenses.
