Padraig Harrington is one of the world's top golfers. Following a very successful amateur career, Harrington has to date won three major championships: The Open Championship in 2007 and 2008 and the PGA Championship, also in 2008.
Aside from Tiger Woods, Harrington is the first golfer to win two majors in the same year since Mark O'Meara in 1998 and the first to win consecutive majors in the same year since Nick Price in 1994. Furthermore, aside from Woods, he is the first golfer to win three of six consecutive majors in 25 years, since Tom Watson accomplished the feat in 1983, something that only four other players - Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Lee Trevino had previously achieved since the modern "Grand Slam" of four majors began to be recognized in the 1950s.
Harrington was named European Tour Player of the Year in both 2007 and 2008 and PGA Player of the Year in 2008. He has been a member of the European Ryder Cup team on six occasions.
Harrington is coached by Bob Torrance, the father of former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance, and resides in Dublin with his wife and children.
