RTE Late Late Show viewers were delighted to see golf legend Padraig Harrington present Ryan Tubridy with a "super generous" gift.
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.
A clearly surprised Ryan said: "What are you doing with these?". Padraig explained that the bag was in fact a departing gift for the RTE star.

Padraig said: "These are a present. If I can get you to play golf when you retire, I can get anybody to play golf."
The duo shared a hug, and Padraig told Ryan: "You are always giving stuff away, so for once, you are going to receive something." Tubs thanked the kind hearted golfer for his new golf gear, saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, that is a measure of the man himself. How thoughtful."
Fans immediately flocked to Twitter to praise Padraig for his kind gift. One person said: "Wow super generous gift from Padraig. Great man."
A second added: "Padraig Harrington is a tonic #LateLateShow." A third said: "Padraig Harrington is a gent"
A fourth added: "Ah @padraig_h one of the nicest, most decent role model for any Irish kid. He deserves every honour. #LateLateShow."
