Since Tiger Woods changed golf, winning his first Major Championship in 1997, there have been 49 individual players that have secured one of Golf’s four most important titles.

In case there was any doubt that Ireland has enjoyed a golden period in that time here is a breakdown of the countries that have supplied those winners:


United States:                26 Players Winning 52 Majors

Ireland:                             5 Players Winning 10 Majors

Australia:                          4 Players Winning 4 Majors

England:                           2 Players Winning 2 Majors

South Africa:                    2 Players Winning 2 Majors

Fiji:                                   1 Player Winning 1 Major

Spain                               1 Player Winning 1 Major

Scotland                          1 Player Winning 1 Major

Argentina                         1 Player Winning 1 Major

Canada                            1 Player Winning 1 Major

Korea                               1 Player Winning 1 Major

Sweden                           1 Player Winning 1 Major

Italy                                  1 Player Winning 1 Major

Strange that they said on the RTE news that he might not go back to Offaly for a homecoming for two or three weeks. I'd tell him to fcuk off at that stage. Big smile

Merry Ploughboy could well be Harrington's local. That would explain that much.
