Golfing debut! Niall Horan is set to play at the Irish Open later this year

Niall Horan is setting up for his first public appearance since going on hiatus from One Direction.

The singer is going to play at the Irish Open this year and will be joined by a whole host of Irish legends.

Retired jockey AP McCoy and Northern Ireland footballer Pat Jennings will golf alongside the star at The K Club in Co. Kildare.

No doubt Niall will bring along a crowd, with many 1D fans anticipating his first comeback since the group split.

This year's Irish Open will take place from May 19-22 and will be hosted by The Rory Foundation.

Tickets for the event are only €30 per day and a percentage of sales will go towards The Rory Foundation which was set up by Rory McIlroy in 2013 to help disadvantaged children's charities around the world.
