Lowry On Playing The Crown Prince Classic: "I earn a living for myself and my family...I need to go there."

Shane Lowry, answering questions from journalists to promote the Saudi International, offered this rationale for taking Saudi Arabia’s money in the upcoming PIFSIPSIA that also looks like a precursor event to a league tour:

"Look, obviously there's no hiding from the people writing about this tournament or what they're saying about us going to play, but at the end of the day for me, I'm not a politician, I'm a professional golfer," Lowry told a virtual media session.

"I earn a living for myself and my family and try and take care of those, and this is just a part of that, and I need to go there."
