Shane Lowry strikes it rich with biggest pay day of career as PGA Tour announces PIP winners

Shane Lowry earned the biggest pay day of his career after the PGA Tour announced their PIP winners.

Lowry was ranked 12th in the list and scooped a bumper pay day which is likely the biggest of his career.

The Offaly man earned a cool €2.9m with the standings ranked due to a player's social media and overall reach.

There was no surprise that Rory McIlroy finished second and netted a mouth watering €11.66m

Yet that is not even the biggest pay day this year for McIlroy after he earned €18m for winning the FedEx Cup.

Tiger Woods again topped the rankings despite having not played a PGA Tour event and was awarded €14.6m.

The exodus of a number of LIV golfers certainly benefitted Lowry with the Offaly man not featuring last year.

But with the likes of Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka all out of the way means Lowry was able to strike it rich.
