McIlroy said: “I can’t wait to be back in Ireland to be able to host this event at the Convention Centre ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.
“Over the course of the tournament, I want to raise as much money as I can for my Foundation as there are many children’s charities out there really in need of the support. As a huge Manchester United fan, I’m delighted Sir Alex has agreed to join me. And with Jimmy Nesbitt as the event’s MC, it’s shaping up to be a really enjoyable evening.”
