Shane Lowry confirmed he won't be joining the LIV GOLF ranks after insisting tradition trumps money in golf.
Lowry, 34, came under fire for playing in the Saudi International in February, stressing at the time that he was "a golfer, not a politician", and that he was "happy to earn my living going there" for the controversial tournament.
However the Clara man sees the emergence of the Saudi-backed LIV GOLF, which staged its first event in England last week with Charl Schwartzel taking away the €4.6m first prize, as a red line he won't cross.
"Every player who is not there and hasn't signed up to it has absolutely had it up to here with it," said Lowry, gearing up for the US Open at Brookline that starts on Thursday.
