Padraig Harrington captured a maiden Senior Major shortly after turning 50 with victory at the U.S. Senior Open last year, before going on to claim three further victories on the PGA Tour Champions in the same year. The Irishman, who added a fourth senior title earlier this season with a successful defence of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open, has enjoyed a glistening career, which included becoming the first European to win back-to-back Major Championships by adding the 2008 US PGA Championship to the 2008 Open Championship crown he won a month earlier, having successfully defended the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale. In addition to his three Major Championships, has won 12 times on the DP World Tour and has three victories on the PGA Tour.
