Most of the endearing images we have from the Masters are victorious ones: Jack Nicklaus raising that huge, black putter head in the air as he birdied 17 on the way to an improbable victory in 1986. Nick Faldo putting his hands above his head in disbelief as he knocked over Scott Hoch in the [...]

The awards keep flowing for Ireland’s Padraig Harrington. The reigning British Open and PGA Championship champion has added to his vast 2008 honours list after being named Player of the Year for men by the Golf Writers Association of America.
Harrington has already won the prestigious PGA Tour Player of the Year Award as well as [...]
His ball laying 249 yards from the hole, the imposing thought of Greg Norman lurking two strokes behind him prompted Irish Padraig Harrington to take out his five-wood earlier this year at the British Open.
Little did he know at the time that the incredible shot that saw the ball land just three feet from Royal [...]
Indian Jeev Milkha Singh emerged from a stellar field that included Padraig Harrington, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els to win the $5 million Singapore Open at Sentosa Island over the weekend.
The son of a former Olympic runner shot a final round of two-under-par 69 for a total of seven-under 277 and a one-stroke victory over [...]
Padraig Harrington may have lost in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf event in Bermuda earlier this week, but there is no denying the impact he has had on the sport this year.
And as a reward for his achievements, highlighted by victory in the British Open and PGA Championship, the Irishman has been named PGA [...]
Tiger Woods has congratulated Padraig Harrington for his PGA Championship victory, while at the same time expressing frustration that he wasn’t there to battle it out with the Irishman.
Writing in his newsletter, Woods said he watched some of the action unfold at Oakland Hills last week when Harrington won his second straight major after the [...]
If he hadn’t done so already at last month’s British Open, Ireland’s Padraig Harrington sealed his status as a true golfing heavyweight with his epic and draining victory at the USPGA Championship at Oakland Hills.
Battling through 36 strength-sapping holes on the final day, and then scrapping with Spain’s Sergio Garcia in a tussle reminiscent of [...]
Greg Norman was again in contention at an Open event but, like before, failed to land the top prize as American Bruce Vaughan fought back from nowhere to win the Senior Open Championship at Royal Troon.
Norman birdied five of the first seven holes on the final day but failed to sustain his charge, finishing tied [...]
As the challengers fell away on Sunday afternoon it looked like it was going to be a case of last man standing. Then Padraig Harrington reminded us why he is such a great champion. Harrington was four under for the last six holes and that included some of the best golf of the week. And [...]
There is something about injuries and winning a major this season. Padraig Harrington was only 75 per cent confident of completing 72 holes of a brutal British Open at Royal Birkdale because of a wrist injury.
In the end, it was not percentages but sheer guts, talent and determination that not only allowed him to last [...]
According to his good friend Mark O’Meara, Tiger Woods has been watching the Open on television, as a golf fan.
If so, then he must be as excited and intrigued as all of us on how things will eventually pan out at Royal Birkdale this weekend.
Greg Norman, KJ Choi, Padraig Harringon and the new kid on [...]
Should we be dismissing this Open already? No Tiger Woods. No sunshine. No low scores (Camilo Villegas and his awe inspiring 65 aside). Will 2008 turn out to be an Open aberration? Will we be whispering shamefacedly about this like we do about Carnoustie ’99 or day three at Muirfield in 2002?
Of course we won’t. [...]
Spain’s Sergio Garcia has emerged as the favourite to win the Open as defending champion Padraig Harrington ponders pulling out of the tournament at Royal Birkdale because of injury.

Kenny Perry won for the third time in five starts as he emerged from a three-way play-off to lift the John Deere Classic title in Silvis, Illinois.
Perry’s ambition at the start of the year was to quietly make the US Ryder Cup team without any fuss or fanfare. No such luck if he keeps winning [...]
