Who is Shane Lowry's caddie? Meet Darren Reynolds

Since Shane Lowry turned professional in 2009, he has had only three caddies.

Dermot Byrne was the first to carry Lowry's bag, and they were together for roughly nine years.

He was on the bag when Lowry claimed his first PGA Tour title in 2015 at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. 

But their relationship deteriorated, and they parted ways in 2018, leaving Lowry’s brother Alan to fill in for a month.

Brian 'Bo' Martin then took over Lowry's bag on a full-time basis.

Together with Bo, Lowry would go on to have his most successful period, as he won the 2019 Open at Royal Portrush.

Winning the claret jug also helped Lowry earn a call-up for the European Ryder Cup team. 

Lowry went on to win both the 2019 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the 2022 BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour with Bo. 

But the Irishman then announced in 2023 they were ending their professional relationship.

Lowry said they lost their 'chemistry' and that the 'spark' just wasn't quite there anymore.

"It kind of came out of nowhere," Lowry previously said.  

"We started in the Middle East, and I had a bad couple of weeks, and we just kind of had a chat and things weren't going — when I sit down and look at it, things weren't going as well as I probably thought.

"It got to me a little bit, and I just needed something fresh — I knew, when it happened, I had no one in mind, no one lined up, so I didn't know what to do."

Who is Shane Lowry's caddie in 2025?

Lowry then turned to veteran caddie Darren Reynolds. 

Martin now caddies for Australian PGA Tour member Min Woo Lee. 

He officially took over Lowry's bag at the 2023 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

They enjoyed their first win together when Lowry joined Rory McIlroy to win the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Darren was also on the bag for Shane when Europe won the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.

Reynolds had previously caddied for the likes of Paul McGinley, Paul Dunne, and Roger Chapman on the European Tour.

He has been a caddie since 1998.

Reynolds also worked with the talented Frenchman Antoine Rozner, helping him to two wins on the DP World Tour.

Rozner earned his PGA Tour card via the DP World Tour Rankings at the end of 2024.

Away from the golf course, Reynolds is a big fan of horse racing, and he is a Tottenham Hotspur supporter.

Darren's wife is named Shona. They got married in August 2009.

In many interviews, Lowry has praised Reynolds' abilities.

Lowry gets on well with Reynolds because he has a good sense of humour.
