Jump To: WITB Lowry
Lowry has enjoyed a fantastic few years, winning his first Major title at the 2019 Open at Royal Portrush and making a real impact on his Ryder Cup debut despite Europe’s defeat at Whistling Straits in 2021.
Now the Irishman has added the 2022 BMW PGA Championship, the DP World Tour’s flagship title, to an impressive CV that includes multiple wins on the European Tour and PGA Tour titles at the 2015 WGC Bridgestone International and 2024 Zurich Classic alongside Rory McIlroy.
His single-shot victory over good friend Rory McIlroy and Ryder Cup teammate Jon Rahm at Wentworth lifted the 36-year-old back inside the world’s top 15 and capped a superb season. The BMW PGA was also the first qualification event for the 2023 Ryder Cup.
Despite no further wins in 2023 however, Lowry’s steady form saw him finish ninth on the World Points List and 11th on the European Points List, which combined with his prolific team experience, earned him selection for a second Ryder Cup as one of Luke Donald’s picks.
Lowry also boasts an impressive record in Major championships recording a T2 finish at the US Open, T3 at the PGA Championship, and T4 in the Masters, in addition to his 2019 Open win.
Lowry is a Srixon/Cleveland staff player but, like many players, isn’t tied into a full-bag contract, allowing him to play TaylorMade Fairway Wood and putter.
Like fellow Major champions Brooks Koepka and Hideki Matsuyama, Lowry uses Srixon irons (ZX5 MKII and ZX7 MKII). He has been a long-time user of Cleveland wedges and currently plays the RTX-6 ZipCore model, which we’re huge fans of here at TG.
Let’s take a closer look at the golfer equipment used by six-time DP World Tour winner Shane Lowry.

What putter does Shane Lowry use?
Shane Lowry uses a TaylorMade Spider Tour Z putter
Spiders are the best TaylorMade putters ever made, and they’ve reached a level where some models now have a legacy and genuine cult following.
There are four current models, but the Spider Tour Z Lowry uses is one of the two newest models that have been added to the Spider family of TaylorMade putters.

What golf ball does Shane Lowry use?
Shane Lowry uses a Srixon Z-Star XV golf ball
Rrp: $49.99
Rrp: $49.99
The 2023 model has a new three-piece construction, and it’s designed to fly higher and further than the standard Z-Star. Srixon like to say if your birdies start with a big tee shot then this is probably the ball for you.
Compared to the Z-Star Diamond the XV generates a little less mid-iron and wedge spin, but is also a little longer from the tee.
