Gary Makes The Cut Line

Recently retired European Tour pro Gary Murphy is well known inside the ropes for his charm and wit and he could very well turn out to be the next David Feherty of the golf TV world. 

Starting next Saturday Gary hosts a series of interviews on Setanta Sports Ireland’s new golf show “The Cut Line”. The first episode of The Cut Line features Padraig Harrington who thinks Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell should line out for Great Britain in the 2016 Olympics.

Golf will make its Olympic debut in 2016 and Padraig Harrington has set his sights on bringing back the gold from Rio de Janeiro, while also suggesting Rory McIlroy should represent Great Britain at the Games. Click here for full article

Harrington's interview is just the first in a new series of hour long interviews on Setanta’s The Cut Line. 

Future episodes will feature Gary Murphy talking with Shane Lowry, Des Smyth and others.

The Cut Line will premiere on Setanta Ireland on Saturday, February 4 at 10pm.

Harrington Olympic Focus

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.
