Shane Lowry shut down PGA Tour strike chat following news of LIV merger

Shane Lowry has revealed that he spoke against possible strike action by PGA Tour players at last week's Canadian Open.

Speaking to RTE Radio ahead of the US Open that gets underway at LACC tomorrow, major winner Lowry admitted he was still in the dark over the ramifications of the controversial deal between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund."We have no information, we have no idea what deal the PGA Tour have signed up for so we just don't know.

Lowry insisted that the questions and speculation hadn't got to him, but that he felt sorry for the elite players who have constantly had to talk about the state of golf."I do feel for the top, top guys that have been involved in the whole thing," said Lowry. "But that's all it is right now, it's unknown. I think in the coming weeks, us as players will have more information and we will be able to talk more about it then. But for now we just don't know."
