Irish e-commerce company Wayflyer have ventured further into the golf space with news that 2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry has signed a multi-million euro sponsorship deal with the Dublin based outfit.
With Royal Dublin’s Niall Kearney already on the books, Wayflyer confirmed a three year deal with Lowry ahead of this week’s Masters.
Lowry will proudly wear the Wayflyer logo on the breast of his clothing while performing various corporate and promotional events in return for the investment which further extends his roots into the Irish market.
“I take huge pride in flying the flag for Ireland everywhere I compete around the world. Throughout my career I’ve been very fortunate to partner many Irish companies and brands that have achieved global success,” Lowry said.
“This partnership with Wayflyer is particularly exciting for me, as it is another truly astonishing Irish success story, featuring a young, talented and committed workforce achieving extraordinary things on the world stage.
“The company’s meteoric rise, coupled with its commitment to being the best in its field globally, aligns with my own ambition of competing for more major championships, winning tournaments and trying to become the best player I can be in the coming years.”
Lowry is no stranger to the work of Wayflyer and in fact invested money during a funding round in February into Ireland’s latest tech unicorn, with Wayflyer now valued at a whopping $1.6 billion.
“Shane’s commitment to his sport, his hard-working attitude and occasional Irish cheekiness mirrors what we stand for at Wayflyer – he’s the ideal partner for us,” said Wayflyer co-founder Jack Pierse.
“Our clients and colleagues can look forward to many exciting events with Shane in the future and we wish him the very best of luck at this week’s iconic Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia, where he will wear the Wayflyer logo for the first time.”
Founded in 2019 by Pierse and Aidan Corbett, Wayflyer provides funding and insights for e-commerce companies, breaking down barriers and helping them to grow faster and achieve their potential.
