Monty’s Ryder Cup wild card boost for Harrington
Three-time major champion Harrington is currently lying outside the top nine automatic qualification places in the European standings with the deadline falling on August 29 at the end of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
Harrington, who will try to gain an automatic spot at this week’s US PGA Championship, has already decided to skip Gleneagles, preferring to play in the United States that week at The Barclays, where he is also committed to a teaching clinic for Special Olympics.
