Shane Lowry signs partnership with Declan Kelly's Consello

Consello, the global advisory and investing platform led by Tipperary native Declan Kelly, has announced a new long-term partnership with major champion Shane Lowry.

Under the deal, Offaly man Lowry will serve as a Consello Ambassador, with the Consello logo appearing on his golf apparel throughout the PGA and DP World Tour season and at related appearances.

Consello founder, chair and chief executive, Declan Kelly said on Monday: “Shane brings enormous talent, a relentless pursuit of excellence and great humility as a golfer and person.

Mr Kelly said that Shane Lowry “represents the very best of his sport, and his values align naturally with those of our firm. We are proud to partner with him and look forward to supporting him in the years ahead.”

Shane Lowry said: “I’ve known Declan for many years, and I’ve watched with great admiration the distinct and ambitious growth of Consello since its formation.

"I’m proud to be associated with a firm so relentlessly focused on helping the best in the world be even better and excited to be partnering with the team.”

Last September at the Bethpage Black course on Long Island, Lowry enjoyed a career highlight when his putt on the 18th green on the final day of singles helped Europe retain the Ryder Cup in dramatic circumstances.

Last year, Lowry set up his own management company after a 15-year long association with Horizon Sports Management.

Lowry came to international prominence in 2009 with his historic victory at the Irish Open as a 22-year-old amateur and later cemented his place among the game’s elite with his win at The Open Championship.

A multiple winner on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, Lowry has performed at the highest level of the sport for more than a decade,
