Shane Lowry Splits With Long-Time Caddie Bo Martin
The pair, who won the 2019 Open Championship together, have split after four-and-a-half years
www.golfmonthly.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting up to now.
-
Shane Lowry’s long-time caddie is Bo Martin. They split in early 2023 after more than four years together, with Lowry stating the move was not borne of anger and that he was seeking a reset for his game. The separation followed a run of mixed results for Lowry early in 2023, including a missed cut in Dubai in Martin’s final week on the bag.[2][3][5]
-
After the departure of Bo Martin, Lowry announced a new caddie, Darren Reynolds, ahead of a stretch in the United States, including a five-week stint on the PGA Tour. Lowry described Reynolds as someone he’d known for years and noted Reynolds had previously worked with other players on the European Tour.[3][6]
-
Media coverage during that period emphasized that Lowry’s change was about seeking a spark or chemistry with a new bagman, rather than a punitive firing, and Reynolds became the attending caddie for part of that 2023 season.[4][3]
Notes and what this means for you:
- If you’re tracking Shane Lowry’s current bag, the most recently reported arrangement around the 2023 season was Darren Reynolds on the bag, with subsequent updates not as widely publicized. For the latest one-off events or any subsequent caddie changes, a fresh check of reputable golf outlets or Lowry’s official team statements would be best.
Would you like me to pull the very latest updates from current golf outlets or social feeds and summarize any new changes since 2023? I can also provide a quick timeline of the caddie changes and their stated rationale.[5][2][3]
