Shane Lowry on split with Bo: "I'm not a caddie firer or anything!"
PGA Tour pro Shane Lowry has opened up on his split with caddie Brian 'Bo' Martin after the 2023 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
Shane Lowry has revealed his split with Brian 'Bo' Martin 'came out of nowhere' but was prompted by a bad start to the year.
It seems hard to believe that after watching the images of the pair embracing when clinching the 2019 Open that their relationship would sour.
But that is apparently what happened. They lost their mojo.

Lowry began his year playing in the DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
It was a decent enough start, as he tied for the lead going into the final round.
A missed cut followed at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic - which was won by Rory McIlroy after his tee gate drama with Patrick Reed.
That poor showing 'got me a little bit', Lowry said and he decided to have a conversation with Bo.
Lowry told the media after the 2023 Players the split 'kinda came out of nowhere'.
He continued:
Lowry now has Darren Reynolds on the bag. He's previously worked with Alex Levy and even Paul McGinley.
He said:
He stressed that during his 14-year career he's only had two caddies.
Lowry added:
Lowry is in the field for the WGC Match Play. After that, he'll take some time off at home before the 2023 Masters.
Interestingly, it was during the 2022 Masters that Lowry was filmed cursing at the aforementioned Martin after a mis-clubbing.
