Harrington targets Olympic gold

Pádraig Harrington will be putting all his focus on winning a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, a feat he thinks will one day be the equivalent of winning a Major.

“I think winning a major tournament is the ultimate at the moment but winning the Olympics would be up there,” he said in a new series on Setanta called The Cut Line.

“Would I swap a fourth Major for Olympic gold? I think in time, an Olympic gold would be every bit as big as a fourth Major. Being an Olympian is very important. Winning the gold will have relevance in time.
