The charismatic Shane Lowry, currently ranked 30th in the World Ranking, has confirmed his participation in the ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid, which will take place at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid from September 26 to 29. 

The Irish golfer forms another interesting center of attention that adds to those generated by the Englishman Tommy Fleetwood –silver medalist in the past Olympic Games of Paris 2024– and the Frenchman Matthieu Pavon, defender of the title won in the 2023 edition.

“In my first year on Tour, back in 2009, I played in what was then the Madrid Masters and I remember having a fantastic time,” said Lowry. “Madrid is an amazing city to visit and, from what I’ve heard, the Club de Campo is a beautiful course with stunning views of the city center. So I’m really looking forward to playing in the ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid and returning to one of my favorite cities in Europe.”.

With seven prestigious victories to his name, spread across four on the DP World Tour and three on the PGA Tour, Shane Lowry definitively rose to fame when he won the 2019 British Open. 

Known for his affability and the high quality of his game, Shane Lowry had the honor of carrying the Irish flag alongside athlete Sarah Lavin during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held in the French capital, highlighting the popular appeal of a golfer who transcends borders and divides his performances between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.

A lover of all sports, but especially Gaelic football, rugby and soccer, Shane Lowry was self-taught in his beginnings in the sport of golf, which took place at age 13 at a Pitch & Putt in the town of Clara, in his native county of Offaly. 

His short game skills were honed on the greens of Esker Hills, the starting point of a prolific career that reached its peak when he won the 2009 Irish Open as an amateur, a European Tour competition that immediately catapulted him into the professional arena. 

«My life changed overnight. At that time I wasn’t even a student, I had dropped out of university. I was just an amateur golfer. I didn’t have much money in my bank account. And suddenly you’re on the European Tour. It was huge for the town, there was a parade and a party until the early hours of the morning,» Lowry recalls.

Three years later, in Europe he won the 2012 Portugal Masters and, already with a PGA Tour card, he won the WGC – Bridgestone Invitational in 2015, consolidating a game that exploded when, in 2019, he won the British Open, the culmination of a sporting career that immediately made him a reference in world golf.

The 2019 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, the 2022 BMW PGA Championship and, again on the American Tour, the recent Zurich Classic of New Orleans this season make Lowry one of the great references in world golf, present at the end of September in the ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid.
