Who is Shane Lowry's new caddie? Meet Darren Reynolds who has worked with host of golf stars

Bray native Darren Reynolds will work alongside Shane Lowry in the coming weeks and possibly longer after being named as the Offaly man's new caddie.

Reynolds will be on Lowry's bag up until the Masters in April, starting at the WM Phoenix Open in Arizona this week, according to a report in the Irish Independent.

The tournament kicks off an important five-in-a-row week schedule that includes the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, the Honda Classic, the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and the Players Championship at Sawgrass.

Reynolds has worked with the likes of Paul McGinley, Paul Dunne and Roger Chapman in the past.

He has also previously worked with Lowry, although the world number 21 stated in the past that he didn't feel as comfortable with Reynolds as he did with Brian "Bo" Martin.

Lowry and Martin, who was on his bag when he won the 2019 British Open in Portrush, parted ways after the Dubai Desert Classic, in which the Offaly man failed to make the cut.

Reynolds caddied for McGinley last year on the Legends Tour, saying at the time it was "great to be back on the bag with the old boss".

He also caddied for French golfer Antoine Rozner when he won the Golf in Dubai Championship in December 2020 and the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in March 2021.

Away from the golf course, the Wicklow man enjoys attending horse racing meetings and is also a Tottenham Hotspur fan.
