The LIV Golf League player, Phil Mickelson, is delighted. A new name will become the part of Hall of Fame of golf and the LIV Golf pro has extended support. Sometimes, we see jealousy in the sports world, but we have even bigger and better examples when it comes to fair play. However, it is not new that a fellow golfer is rooting for another because of his talents. The fans have reacted to Mickelson’s gesture and sent good wishes to the new Hall of Fame inductee. But who is it?
Phil Mickelson is happier than ever
The PGA Tour pro Padraig Harrington will receive the biggest honor there is in golf. According to the recent post of Flushing It, the three times major championship winner will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The 51 years old Irish golfer has achieved great heights in his career and now he will finally be honored for his contribution to golf. After Cheyenne Woods‘ induction this year, it will be great to see the 2007 Open Championship winner too. According to Flushing It, Harrington will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. They further explained his contribution and his relentless pursuit of excellence in his senior years. Padraig is an inspiration and a superb role model. However, this was not the highlight.

Congratulations.” The fans took note of the tweet and presented their point of view.
Phil, a legend in the game. Your legacy isn't tarnished and I believe there is some great finishes yet to be had by you. I hope this works out great for you. Your stance worked for so many (especially those on the tour that have abandoned you). Trust in God!!!
