Padraig Harrington says he is humbled by the news that he is to be the third Irishman inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame after Joe Carr and Christy O'Connor senior.
Harrington, 51, learned that he will be inducted next year after winning three major titles and one senior major crown.
He was named PGA Tour Player of the Year in 2008 and has played in six Ryder Cup teams before captaining Europe last time out.
