Are you a fan of Coldplay? Georgia Hall and some other LET stars sure are. With just a few hours left before the first round of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open, all eyes are certainly on the Carton House Golf Club. Hall, Leona Maguire, and others are at the course to grace the greens, but they’re also looking forward to the concert.
The KPMG Women’s Irish Open will commence from August 29th to September 1st in Dublin. Interestingly the tournament aligns with the date of Coldplay’s concert at the Croke Park Jones’ Rd Drumcondra Dublin 3 Ireland. Considering that, Georgia Hall and other pros are excited and hopeful that they’ll have some time to attend the concert while the $400k event continues.
LET Golf in collaboration with the KPMG Women’s Irish Open shared a post on Instagram captioning “LET stars happy to hear that @coldplay are in town.” In the clip, Georgia Hall and some other LET pros playing at the Carton House Golf Club this week expressed their excitement and revealed that they had already booked tickets for the concert, rather than discussing their plans for the tournament.
