Shane Lowry pens special note for $60M-worth NFL star after Truist Championship Pro-Am

Shane Lowry wrote a heartfelt post for the $60 million NFL star Jason Kelce after the completion of the Truist Championship Pro-Am. Kelce was invited for the Wednesday Pro-Am match at the Philadelphia Cricket Club - Wissahickon Golf Course, and there, the NFL star bonded well with Lowry.

Following the nine-hole match, the golfer shared their picture on X.

“We’re lucky in golf to play and meet great sports people. Fun 9 holes today with Jason. Great down to earth lad and loves his golf,” Shane Lowry tweeted.

A funny banter between the two from the Pro-Am match went viral on X yesterday. The PGA Tour shared a video in which Kelce came across a picture of Lowry wearing an NFL jersey dressed as his brother, fellow NFL player Travis Kelce, and Kelce humorously asked:

“Are you sure you’re not a Kelce?”
