Padraig Harrington has agreed his biggest ever sponsorship deal of his career with the Amercian company FTI Consulting. The company will become the leading sponsor of the Dubliner for the next three years.
The figures involved in the massive sponsorship have not been revealed but the 37-year-old declared himself to be "very happy" with the deal.
The 37-year-old three-time major winner met the media at Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel earlier today.
Sporting an FTI branded baseball cap and flanked by the Claret Jug and Wannamaker Trophy, Harrington declined to give too much away about his hopes for the year ahead.
"While I will set goals, I don't like to set them out there and tell people," he said. "No point in giving the ammunition to be whipped with at the end of the year if you don't meet those goals.
"Thankfully unlike these guys (FTI) I don't have to make quarterly projections. I'm allowed to have longer term strategies."
But he hinted: "So, If I was a betting man now I'd put my money on for the US Open. That would be the easiest in terms of focus for me."
