Lowry will partner with Brooks Koepka in the PGA Tour’s lone team event.
Rory McIlroy won’t be playing in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, but his partner, Shane Lowry, has found a new teammate: Brooks Koepka. The two have committed to the PGA Tour’s lone team event, being played at TPC Louisiana from April 23–26.
In 2024, Lowry and McIlroy, good friends, partnered up for the tournament and won. Last year, in their title defense, they placed T12 asearlier this month with a back injury, before grinding out a T46 at the Players Championship the following week. The Zurich Classic is two weeks after the Masters.2024 Zurich Classic champion Shane Lowry will team up with five time major winner Brooks Koepka at this year‘s event! April 23-26. Don’t miss out,after leaving LIV Golf in December. One of the stipulations of his return, though, is that he isn’t eligible for signature events unless he qualifies. Therefore, winning an event like the Zurich would boost the five-time major champion’s status on Tour. The Zurich Classic does not award world ranking points as a team event, but grants 400 FedEx Cup points and a two-year exemption to each winner.
