Shane Lowry Ends Kingspan Sponsorship Deal
News summary

Shane Lowry has ended his sponsorship deal with Kingspan, expressing his heartfelt sympathy for the families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, which claimed 72 lives in 2017. This decision follows a critical report that found Kingspan showed 'complete disregard for fire safety' and engaged in 'systematic dishonesty' regarding its insulation products. Lowry, who had faced pressure to sever ties with the company, stated that he cannot imagine the suffering experienced by those families and called the situation a 'touchy subject'. While Kingspan was not directly responsible for the fire, it was accused of misleading marketing practices concerning its K15 insulation. Lowry's announcement comes ahead of the Amgen Irish Open, where he reiterated his commitment to not discuss the matter further. The Grenfell United group welcomed Lowry's decision, having previously criticized him for his continued association with Kingspan.
