Biography
Padraig Harrington is an inspirational Irish professional golfer, three-time major champion, and former European Ryder Cup Captain who plays on the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions, and the DP World Tour.
The legendary golfer has won two Open Championships (2007 and 2008) and the 2008 PGA Championship. Padraig has also won the 2025 Senior Open title and three US Senior Open titles, taking the honours in 2022, 2025 and 2026. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in June 2024.
As part of his goal to introduce as many people as possible to the game of golf, Padraig and his team designed and constructed a putting green at Marlay Park, a public park near his childhood home in Dublin, which opened in 2023. Under the Padraig Harrington Design umbrella, he is involved in the design and renovation of golf courses, influenced by his personal experience of playing at the best global venues.
During the Lockdown period, Padraig filmed and released a number of instructional videos, which were well-received and led to the launch of his YouTube channel, Paddy’s Golf Tips.
Outside of golf, Padraig set up the the Padraig Harrington Charitable Foundation in 2006. The Foundation raises funds through various activities and provides deserving causes with financial support. Padraig is a patron of the Oesophageal Cancer Fund, Make A Wish Foundation, GOAL, The Irish American Partnership and the Irish Youth Foundation.
Padraig has cultivated strong commercial partnerships with a diverse array of prominent companies including Amgen, Dunnes Stores, EyePromise, FootJoy, ISPS Handa, Mutual of Omaha, Orreco, SuperSpeed, Titleist, VKTRY and Wilson Staff.
Padraig holds an Accounting qualification from the Dublin Business School.
