Everyone needs some kind of support system in their lives, and it becomes especially important to have one when you’re an active athlete. And in American professional golfer Justin Lower’s case, that support system is his wife Janise Sandrock Lower. The couple tied the knot on September 21, 2019, and have been inseparable ever since. Fans have even spotted Janise cheering for her husband when he is showcasing his skills on the greens.
The information about how the couple met is not disclosed to the public, but the fans have seen Janise and Lower built a life together, including raising their daughter, Ariana Lynn. To add to their family member, the couple also has a dog named Darby. We all know how challenging it can be for an athlete to play an active role in their family, but with the right person to help you, these struggles become a lot easier. What we’re getting at is that, as the partner of a professional athlete, Janise likely plays a vital supporting role in Lower’s golfing career.
Her love and encouragement undoubtedly contribute to Lower’s success on the PGA Tour. As of August 2024, Lower and Janise have been married for over 4 years. The golfer made a post on their third anniversary in 2021 on Instagram and wrote, “Happy Anniversary4️⃣ @janiselauren Here’s to a lifetime more.” Throughout their relationship, Lower has achieved impressive golfing milestones, including 7 top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour and ranking 15th in the 2024 PGA Tour rankings.
