Shane Lowry is aiming to continue his good run of form as he makes his final appearance before the first Major Championship of the year at this week’s Porsche Singapore Classic.

Laguna National Golf Resort Club plays host to the opening event on the DP World Tour’s Asian Swing and the Irishman will tee it up in Singapore for the first time in 12 years as he makes his season bow on the 2024 Race to Dubai.

The 2019 Open Champion and Ryder Cup star arrives in Singapore in a strong vein of form, with last week’s tie for 19th at THE PLAYERS Championship following back-to-back top five finishes and he is now targeting another strong result ahead of next month’s Masters Tournament, the first Major of the year.

Shane Lowry Ahead of DP World Tour Start in Singapore

“I played well the last few weeks, I’ve got a few nice results under my belt, so I’m pretty happy with how things have been going this season so far. I’ve come out pretty good and yeah looking forward to the next few weeks.”

“I think it’s such a long time difference that it doesn’t really matter these days — no problems sleeping last night and might head out today and get some work done and get to know the course a little bit. And hopefully I can get out tomorrow then hopefully I get a good night’s sleep tonight and get out there tomorrow and go after it.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence and feel great about my game coming off the last few weeks so it’ll be nice to continue that on. And then I’ve got a two week break leading into Augusta so you never want to go into a Major off the back of a bad result so there’s a little bit of pressure on me to try and play well this week. But I’ve always got high expectations of myself and I’m hoping to come here and give myself a good chance come Sunday afternoon and hopefully do the business.”

Hi-tech golf apparel brand Galvin Green has named its global Tour player line-up headlined by Swedish star Alexander Björk on the PGA Tour and Englishman Jordan Smith leading the brand’s presence on the DP World Tour.

Alexander Björk and Jordan Smith set to represent Galvin Green

Having achieved an impressive stroke average of 69.59 across the DP World Tour calendar in 2023, Björk is set to play most of his golf on the flagship US Tour following a career best season that saw him finish 11 th in the Race to Dubai rankings to earn a sought-after PGA TOUR card.

Hot off the back of a T2 finish at the Jonnson Workwear Open in South Africa, Jordan Smith will be seen wearing Galvin Green garments for another year after a strong showing on the DP World Tour in 2023, where he achieved four top 10s, plus a T20 and T41 finish at the 123rd US Open and 151 st Open Championship respectively.

“We’re so pleased that Alexander earned his PGA Tour card which was fully deserved after a superb season of consistent golf,” said Conor Petters, Galvin Green Global Tour Manager. “It was also great to see Jordan come some close on Sunday after being in contention so often during the course of last year,” he added.

Björk and Smith are joined by five other Tour players

Five other tour players will wear Galvin Green apparel in the 2024 season. They include fellow Englishman Laurie Canter wearing the brand’s clothing during tournaments on LIV Golf as a wildcard player and the DP World Tour. Former Walker Cup star Jake Bolton is one of the newest recruits to wear the latest men’s range featuring products such as the 100% waterproof and windproof ARMSTRONG GORE-TEX Paclite® jacket in a three tone design, plus the breathable MO shirt in moisture wicking VENTIL8™ PLUS fabric with a cross-body gradient print across the chest.

Alexandra Swayne, 23, will wear the brand’s vibrant women’s styles for a second successive season having made her Ladies European Tour debut last year, while 29-year-old Danish Nanna Koerstz Madsen joins the line-up alongside Corinne Viden on the LET circuit.

“We are delighted to continue supporting our new and established Tour players and believe each member of Team Galvin Green will prove to be valuable brand ambassadors in front of global audiences in 2024,” added Petters.

Arccos – the leader in connected A.I. golf products and the Official Game Tracker of the PGA TOUR – today announced an exclusive partnership that will see Edoardo Molinari, a DP World Tour player and Analytics advisor for more than 35 top professionals including Matthew Fitzpatrick (U.S. Open champion), Viktor Hovland (FedExCup champion), Nelly Korda (Women’s PGA Championship winner) and the European Ryder Cup Team, become Arccos’ Chief Data Strategist & Lead Tour Ambassador to help expand the game’s most powerful and intuitive analytics platform.

In his new role, Molinari will become an investor in Arccos and his StatisticGolf service will be renamed Arccos Pro Insights as he continues working with top-ranked players worldwide. Molinari will also leverage the Arccos system – which was recently approved for use on the PGA TOUR – to seamlessly capture his personal shot data during competitions and practice rounds. He will showcase the Arccos logo on his apparel, promoting the company’s mission to empower golfers at every level with datadriven insights.

“I’m very impressed with the Arccos game tracking system as it is delivering tremendous benefits to so many players around the world,” said Molinari. “It’s the perfect complement to the platform I’ve built for the game’s most elite pros. Joining forces with Sal Syed and his team of amazing data scientists, analysts, engineers and designers, will make an immediate impact. I know we’re poised to pioneer groundbreaking advancements in analytics, helping every golfer become smarter about practice, preparation, and on-course decision-making.”

Recently named European Ryder Cup Team Vice Captain for the second time, Molinari has frequently been called a “stats genius” by tour stars and golf media. As a player, Molinari won the 2005 U.S. Amateur Championship, claimed three DP World Tour titles, was on the winning 2010 Ryder Cup team and reached #14 on the Official World Golf Ranking.

A graduate of a five-year engineering program at the Polytechnic University of Turin, the 42-year-old Italian began recording and analyzing his own stats in 2003. During golf’s COVID-19 hiatus, Molinari conceived and launched StatisticGolf, which quickly became the most used and trusted analytics platform on professional tours. In 3 years, his clients have captured 27 worldwide wins including: US Open, Ryder Cup, FedExCup, and DP World Tour Championship.

“The sophistication of what Edoardo has built surpasses anything that I’ve seen in the field of golf analytics,” said Sal Syed, Arccos CEO & Co-Founder. “Edoardo is not only brilliant with data, he has the perspective that comes from being one of the world’s best players. That combination is totally unique and a big reason why major champions and Ryder Cup winners give so much credit to his work. By pairing Edoardo’s approach with what we’ve built at Arccos, we’ll redefine analytics, to perfectly address the needs of pro golfers, as well as elite amateurs, junior golfers and recreational players.”

Golf’s #1 game tracker, Arccos has built the game’s largest on-course dataset. Today that includes almost 900 million shots and over 1.5 trillion data points recorded during 18 million rounds by Arccos members. The system, which consists of a lightweight smart sensor in each club grip that pairs with a mobile app, has long been trusted by amateurs and elite players worldwide.

Arccos recently launched Link Pro, a revolutionary device that tracks a player’s shots automatically without a phone and works inside a player’s front pocket to seamlessly capture on-course data. Ideal for use in professional competitions, Link Pro is the size of a car key fob and comes standard with a wireless charging case that provides up to 12 rounds on a single charge.

Late last year, Arccos announced a strategic fundraising round featuring several of golf’s biggest brands and most impactful businesses, headlined by the PGA TOUR alongside PING, Inc., TaylorMade Golf Company, Cobra PUMA Golf and Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (NYSE: MODG), among others. The company’s focus: fully leverage and accelerate the growth of the game’s largest data set to help the entire golf ecosystem by allowing players, coaches, club fitters and product designers make smarter decisions that are based on real performance data.
