Shane Lowry Turns His Focus to the NFL, Becomes the ‘Third Kelce Brother’

Shane Lowry, the Irish golf star best known for his Ryder Cup heroics, is making waves off the greens by diving into a new passion — the NFL! After years of dominating the golf course, Lowry has recently become captivated by American football, and he’s got a special fondness for the Chicago Bears. 🏟️

In a recent interview on The Pat McAfee Show with Kay Adams, Lowry opened up about his growing interest in the NFL, revealing that he only started following the league seriously this year. His newfound love for the Bears comes from encouragement from two friends in Florida, who are die-hard Bears supporters. He joked:
“I actually just started watching the NFL properly this year… I’m a Chicago Bears fan. I heard they’re going to be pretty good over the next few years.”

Even though he’s new to the sport, Lowry’s connection to the NFL runs deeper thanks to a friendship with Jason Kelce, one of the league’s biggest stars. The two met at a pro-am golf event in Philadelphia last year, and their bond quickly blossomed. During this friendship, Kay Adams playfully dubbed Lowry the “third Kelce brother” due to his growing connection to the Kelce family. 🤝

A Deepening Friendship with Jason Kelce

Lowry spoke warmly about his time with Jason Kelce, describing the Super Bowl champion as down-to-earth and someone who shares his passion for their respective sports. “We had a great time,” Lowry recalled. “What a great fella he is. He’s so grounded and loves his sport, and I think I’m very similar.” 💬

Although Lowry has yet to meet Travis Kelce, he jokingly mentioned that his daughter would be thrilled to meet the NFL star and his fiancée, Taylor Swift. This lighthearted comment shows how much Lowry has embraced his new love for the league and the connections he’s made within it. 🏈✨

Balancing Golf and Football

Despite his newfound passion for the NFL, Lowry is still dedicated to his golf career. The 2019 Open Championship winner continues to compete on the PGA Tour and remains a key figure in the European Ryder Cup teams. His involvement in the NFL, however, proves that even elite athletes like Lowry can discover new passions, form unexpected friendships, and broaden their interests beyond their primary sports. 🌟

It’s clear that Shane Lowry has found a new love for the NFL, and with his growing friendship with the Kelce brothers, there’s no doubt he’ll continue to make waves both on and off the golf course.
