Harrington in line for €25 million windfall

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON is set for a potential €25m windfall after his victory in the Open Championship at Carnoustie.

Before his greatest triumph, he had won €23m worldwide, approximately €16.5m in Europe and the remainder in the US and Asia, from his playing activities alone.

He may have doubled that amount from his wide range of contracts but now that he is a major champion, Harrington’s earning power will soar dramatically.
