Harrington hopes he won’t need exemption to stay on Tour

Pádraig Harrington is reluctant to draw on a one-time only PGA Tour money list exemption should he not finish first or second in this week’s Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.

The 75th anniversary event being played on the Donald Ross-designed Sedgefield Country Club course is turning into a ‘last chance saloon’ scenario for the triple Major Champion.

Harrington is currently ranked 188th on the PGA Tour money list and needs to finish inside the top 25 at the close of this week’s $5.3m event to be assured of retaining his Tour card.
