Pádraig Harrington will be putting all his focus on winning a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, a feat he thinks will one day be the equivalent of winning a Major.
"I think winning a major tournament is the ultimate at the moment but winning the Olympics would be up there," he said in a new series on Setanta - The Cut Line.
"Would I swap a fourth Major for Olympic gold? I think in time, an Olympic gold would be every bit as big as a fourth Major. Being an Olympian is very important. Winning the gold will have relevance in time.
"It will definitely be career defining, and certainly an Olympic gold would be top of my CV."
Harrington also admitted being fascinated with the recent media speculation over who Rory McIlroy would declare for at the Olympics. "If Rory and Graeme declare for Great Britain, it means we get two more Irish guys into it."
Harrington is next in action at the AT&T National Pro-Am at Pebble Beach in the US on February 6th.
