Shane Lowry is laughing all the way to the bank after a bumper year.
The Irish star secured Team Europe’s triumph at the Ryder Cup in September and penned a heartfelt post in the aftermath.
And it looks like, as well as putting in a strong performance on the green, he’s also had a strong year at the bank, with his net worth reportedly sitting around €23million. Not too shabby!

According to The Sun, accumulated profits at the royalties firm owned by the Offaly man surged to a very healthy €19.7million in 2024.
New accounts filed by Shane’s SFL Marketing Ltd show that the firm recorded post-tax profits of €5.3million for 2024, per the publication. This is a 31 per cent increase on the post-tax profits for 2023.

Shane was just 22 years of age when he set up the royalties firm in March 2010. He established the company to carry on the business of promoting, marketing and development of trademarks and royalties.
Per Sportrac, Shane has made career earnings of €35.6million, including €6.12million on the PGA Tour this year.
While most of his income comes from playing golf, the sportsman was formerly sponsored by Wayflyer, but is now sponsored by a flurry of well-known brands.
These include Srixon, Teneo, Bank of Ireland, Mastercard, AMGEN, Jameson, and BMW.

Shane, who is the son of Offaly footballer Brendan Lowry, is a sponsor of Offaly GAA. Per Business Plus, he provides ‘financial support to the county board’s commercial and fundraising initiatives to improve underage coaching and develop educational bursaries for players’.
His five-year deal with Offaly GAA, agreed in 2021, culminates next year.

Shane and his wife, Wendy Honner, are also the proud owners of properties in Rathgar, Dublin, and Jupiter, Florida. He has a reported net worth of €23million.
The sportsman has been known to be generous with his earnings in the past, and in 2021, he donated €10,000 to Tullamore toddler Joey Conway, who suffered from serious health conditions in his two short years of life.

These health conditions included invasive Group A Strep (iGAS) and being diagnosed with Portal Vein Thrombosis (PVT), which led to Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension and he now requires life-saving treatment in the US. Shane helped the family reach their goal of €330,000.
