He's playing his first PGA Tour event of the year today.
Shane Lowry has ruled himself out of participating in the Saudi Golf League, saying the breakaway tour 'doesn't sit well with him.'
His comments came ahead of his opening round at The Honda Classic on the PGA tour, his first scheduled media event since the fallout of Phil Mickleson's comments.
The multiple major winner admitted in what he claims was an off the record chat with a journalist, that he was overlooking political and human rights issues with Saudi Arabia in order to leverage the PGA Tour officials.
The Clara golfer took the chance in front of the media to reaffirm his commitment to both the PGA and DP World Tour. adding that he approached officials personally on Monday, when his name was linked to the middle-eastern venture.
Lowry is the latest in a long line of players to throw their weight behind the status quo. Those names include Rory McIlroy, Bryson Dechambeau, Dustin Johnson, John Rahm and almost all of the top players in the sport.
