Galgorm Castle Golf Club is to host the Northern Ireland Open in July 2024.
The 25-28 July tournament will be one of 29 which will form the European Challenge Tour’s Road to Mallorca schedule, staged across three continents and 18 different countries.
The event returns to the Challenge Tour schedule for the first time since 2020.
The Ballymena parkland course has hosted the Irish Open and the ISPS Handa World Invitational on the DP World Tour in recent years.
Galgorm Castle staged six NI Opens on the Challenge Tour from 2013 to 2018 and a seventh in 2020 as part of the resumption of professional golf in Europe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Former winners include 2023 DP World Tour Golfer of the Year, Ryan Fox from New Zealand, who triumphed at the county Antrim course in 2016.
American Tyler Koivisto was the victor the last time the NI Open was held at Galgorm as part of the Challenge Tour in 2020.
The Junior NI Open will also be part of the event.
