Biography

The Irishman will make his third consecutive Ryder Cup appearance since becoming Open Champion after narrowly missing out on automatic selection and being handed his third Captain’s Pick. Consistency has been the name of the game for Lowry, who finished either 12th or 13th in his first five counting events before sealing back-to-back top threes at the DP World Tour Championship and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.  Strong performances in PGA TOUR Signature events saw him keep racking up points and while he was edged out of automatic selection by Rasmus Højgaard, there is little surprise in seeing him on Team Europe. 

His Ryder Cup debut was a chastening one for Europe in the record defeat at Whistling Straits but Lowry produced one of the highlights of the week as he and Tyrrell Hatton beat Tony Finau and Harris English 1 Up in Saturday’s fourballs session. In 2023 he formed a fearsome partnership with Sepp Straka, winning in the first session whitewash and losing on day two before halving his singles match with Jordan Spieth after the Cup was well won.
