Padraig Harrington may be the billboard for having a career as a professional golfer after 50.
The beloved Irishman has had quite the resurgence on the PGA Tour Champions since hitting the qualifying age of 50 back in 2022. The three-time major winner has racked up five wins on the senior circuit, including the 2022 U.S. Senior Open.
After a successful amateur career, Harrington turned professional in 1996, joining the European Tour. In 2005, Harrington made the full-time jump to the PGA Tour, winning the Honda Classic and Barclays Classic in his rookie season.
In 2007, Harrington claimed his first major, winning the Open Championship at Carnoustie. In 2008, he would defend his title at Royal Birkdale and add on a PGA Championship at Oakland Hills.
Over the years, Harrington has racked up 37 professional wins around the globe and continues to add to that number as he proves to get better with age.
