RTE Late Late viewers hail Padraig Harrington for 'super generous' gesture to Ryan Tubridy

Tubs is due to leave the long-running talk-show on May 26 after 14 years hosting the show. On tonight's show, 2007 Open Champion Padraig was the first guest on The Late Late Show, and he brought along a gorgeous red and white Wilson bag customised with Ryan's name on it, reports Dublin Live.
