In the video, captured and shared across social media platforms by the PGA Tour Champions, Harrington began by playfully stating, “Surely I am not giving a lesson on how to tie your shoelaces. You know you should always put your foot up when you are tying your shoelaces.”
As the interviewer questioned the reason behind this unusual approach, Harrington, with a mischievous grin, provided an unexpected explanation, saying, “Because it expands! So you can tie it tight, and then it’s a little looser when you put your foot down, and the lace won’t open.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments section under the video with their witty and sarcastic comments. Here’s a few of them:
