Shane Lowry: Chasing Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor

For Shane Lowry, qualifying for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor is more than just a goal – it's the absolute primary driver for his entire season's planning. The Irishman has firmly set his sights on this major event on home soil, taking place from September 17-19, 2027, in County Limerick. He absolutely wants to be part of Team Europe when the action unfolds on his home turf in 2027. "Very, very cool" that would be, according to Lowry, who already stresses that the qualification process has begun and he needs to "get into gear".

Home Course Buzz

Lowry is currently playing in the Irish Open, where competing in front of a home crowd provides an extra boost. He is one of seven players from the victorious 2025 European Ryder Cup team who are on the course this week. The memory of the last Ryder Cup in Ireland, in 2006 at The K Club, further inspires him and shows how special a home game can be.

However, the experienced pro also has some pressure on his shoulders: He recently dropped out of the top 50 in the world rankings. This makes strong results even more crucial, not only to secure entry into the major events, but especially to strengthen his position in the fight for a Ryder Cup spot. For him, it's not just about titles, but about his personal "Big, Big Goal".

Europe's Next Generation

The USA has already set its criteria for 2027, allocating six automatic qualification spots. For Europe, the battle for the coveted places is now truly beginning. Lowry, who was part of the victorious 2025 team, knows exactly what it takes to win the trophy and aims to triumph with home advantage this time.
