Padraig Harrington and his son Paddy took on the 2024 PNC Championship at the iconic Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Flordia this week. Despite ending with a tied for third place finish, the father-son duo made some memories to last a lifetime.
The Irish golfer got married to his wife Caroline in 1997. Having known each other since their childhood, they now have two sons together. Patrick, nicknamed as Paddy after his grandfather, was born in 2003 and plays golf with his father. After being married for nearly a decade, the couple welcomed Ciarán into the world in November 2007.
Ciarán and his mother travel with Padraig and his oldest son to show them support at their tournaments worldwide. However, the relations between the family and golf don't end there.
The PGA Tour superstar's caddy Ronan Flood has been on his bag since 2004. His caddie went on to marry Susie Gregan, who is Harrington's wife's sister. The 2008 Open Championship winner's older brother, Tadhg, is also a professional golf coach at the world-renowned Harrington Golf Academy located in their native town of Dublin.
Padraig Harrington and his son's performance at the 2024 PNC Championship
The PNC Championship is one of the PGA Tour's most anticipated events due to the family aspect of the game. This week, Padraig Harrington and his son Patrick "Paddy" shared a special bond as the 21-year-old amateur achieved a memorable milestone.
At the Ritz Carlton Golf Club's par three eighth hole, Paddy carded a hole-in-one. The feat was impressive given the pin location of the challenging 214-yard-long hole. Despite finishing tied for third place with Team Duval and Team Singh, the father-son duo had their spirits up high.
