Padraig Harrington Not Interested In Coaching Due to ‘Bizarre’ Reasoning

Three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington surprisingly revealed why he will not become a coach, despite his vast experience and expertise in golf.

“I just don’t really like people that much,” Harrington said with a chuckle.

However, he clarified that his humorous remark masks a deeper belief. Harrington explained that he prefers to maintain friendships with fellow golfers rather than transition into a mentor role.

“If I was coaching someone, I’d feel I should be friends with them. I don’t feel like I should take their money to earn a living… I feel like my friend should be able to get a free lesson,” Harrington explained.

LIV’s major exemptions are dwindling. If nothing changes, here’s what’ll happen

LIV Golf’s major exemptions are quickly running out, and if nothing changes, the upstart tour could find itself in a difficult position.

The four majors currently offer exemptions to the top 50 players in the world, but that number is set to decrease to 50 in 2023 and 40 in 2024. That means that LIV Golf players who are not currently ranked in the top 50 will need to qualify for the majors through sectional qualifying, which is a much more difficult process.

If LIV Golf is unable to secure more major exemptions, it could make it difficult for the tour to attract and retain top players. With no chance of playing in the majors, many of the world’s best golfers may be hesitant to join LIV Golf, which would hurt the tour’s credibility and competitiveness.
