Pádraig Harrington, Dr Bob Rotella, and the mental secrets that made him a champion

Pádraig Harrington has had three great father figures in his career — his father, Paddy, his swing coach, Bob Torrance, and Dr Bob Rotella.

The first two meant everything in his formation as a person and a swinger of a club, but mental coach Rotella’s influence has arguable been as crucial to his success as a player.

Those who want to know more about the intimate details of Harrington’s life on tour and the way Rotella helped prepare him to win those three major titles, will be keen to attend at least one of two special events that are taking place at Roganstown Golf and Country Club on July 19 and 20.
