Shane Lowry Made Loyalties Clear With Argentina Jersey Remark At Open

Shane Lowry showed his World Cup semi-final loyalties ahead of England facing Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday night by wearing or acknowledging an Argentina jersey at The Open at Royal Birkdale. The Irish golfer, who won the Claret Jug in 2019, is competing at the tournament after a difficult 2026 that included an early capitulation at the Masters and missing the cut at both the PGA and the U.S. Open. The article says Lowry was reported on Wednesday as joking that a sponsor scripted his outfit for the majors in Argentina colors, but he said he could not do that—adding that it does not mean he will not cheer for Argentina. It also notes Lowry’s broader sports ties, including GAA fandom, and his interest in soccer, citing past visits to Ireland team activities and attendance at Shamrock Rovers matches.
