Next Irish Open host shouldn't let tournament revolve around any one player - Paul McGinley

Whoever his successor is as Irish Open host, Paul McGinley will emphasise one key message that they should take into their planning.

"I think it's important that we recognise the history of the Irish Open and not revolve it around any one player and not revolve it about the quality of field, that it is a festival and that we create the craic. 

"Irish people love the craic and when you put lots of ancillary stuff around it.  

"The golf will take care of itself. The players are great, the golf courses will always be chosen that are very strong. 

"It's putting the ancillary stuff around it to make sure that it's a success, and there's something for everybody in the family".
